Newcomen Street historically formed the southern boundary of St. Saviour's (now Cathedral) parish on the east side of Borough High Street. Like many of the streets and alleys of Southwark it developed from an inn yard, and was previously knows as Axe Yard. The properties along it are mostly owned by Marshall's Charity.
