The coat of arms dates from the early 18th century and was previously attached to the southern gateway of the Old London Bridge. When the bridge was demolished in 1760 the coat of arms was re-erected on the King's Arms Public House. The pub was possibly rebuilt in around 1890. Until 1879 the street was known as King Street, but was renamed Newcomen Street.
