Brothers Oliver and George Evan Evans laid out a street called Evans Street - construction continued until the mid-1850s.

Evans Street was laid out in 1846 by Oliver and George Evan Evans on land they acquired in 1845.

Around 1858, an extension was made when Pekin Street, along with Nankin Street, was developed by Stephen Redman and others, providing Evans Street an access to East India Dock Road.

The Elim Strict Baptist chapel was built on the west side in 1883

The entire street was renamed Pekin Street in 1887.
