Salisbury Street was named after Robert Cecil, the first Earl of Salisbury.

Salisbury House - or as it was sometimes called Cecil House - had been built by Robert Cecil, first Earl of Salisbury, and the son of Lord Burghley. In 1678 a great part of it was pulled down, and Salisbury Street was built on its site.

Salisbury Street, before the construction of the Embankment, led to Salisbury Stairs.

Salisbury Street was pulled down and rebuilt at the end of the nineteenth century.
