It was a commonly-used street, and appeared in texts from the period often as the home of some of those illustrious persons. The street began as the home of the Cannons for Saint Stephen’s church.

The Privy Stairs were the rivermen’s stairs on the Thames attached to the king and queen’s apartments at Whitehall for use by the monarchs when they still resided at the palace; river access was necessary as the palace faced the Thames rather than the street (Ivimey 163). The stairs was used primarily by visiting foreign dignitaries and courtiers in order to gain access to the palace without needing to negotiate the streets of London, while a second dock, the Whitehall Stairs, was located downstream and was accessible to the public (Pepys).
