Sir Christopher Hatton was Chancellor to Elizabeth I. He constructed Hatton House in 1576. The house had fallen into ruin by 1659 when the current streets were laid out. The street now called Hatton Garden was known as Hatton Street, Hatton Garden referred to the whole area including Leather Lane, Saffron Hill and Holborn.

Hatton House itself passed to William Newport, Christopher Hatton's nephew, in 1591. William took the name Hatton, and married Lady Elizabeth Cecil. She was granted the house after William's death and it passed to her daughter by her second husband, who had married into the Villiers family.

In May 1811 a Bill was passed for the construction of a new bridge to cross the Thames about a quarter of a mile west of London Bridge, and the Southwark Bridge Company was formed. The Company pushed ahead with the construction of Southwark Bridge despite opposition from the City of London and the Thames Conservatory Board, who did not consider it necessary. The bridge was begun in 1813 and opened at midnight on 24 March 1819, designed by Sir John Rennie. The bridge was not popular and was underused, despite the congestion on nearby London and Blackfriars Bridges.
