Friday Street is a hamlet on the lower slopes of Leith Hill in Surrey, England. It is set well off the main roads around a hammer pond in a steep wooded valley. It lies within the civil parish of Wotton just to the south of the A25 running between Guildford to the west and Dorking to the east. Neighbouring villages include the Abingers of Abinger Hammer and Abinger Common as well as Wotton itself.

There are a few houses in this tiny hamlet and an historic inn that bears the name of Stephan Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury during the reign of King John and signatory of the Magna Carta. Martin Tupper, the distinguished poet and antiquarian, wrote a biography of Stephan Langton in the 1850's which associates the venerable Archbishop to this area.

Friday Street also features as the title of a song on the album 'Heavy Soul' by Surrey native Paul WellerIn 1984 Friday Street was used as a location for the BBC Television series "The Tripods" based on the books by John Christopher, where, for the sake of the story it became the village of "Wherton."
