In the late 19th century, the street was a favoured and fashionable location for people of an artistic and literary disposition.

Tite Street is named after William Tite who was a member of the Metropolitan Board of Works, responsible for the construction of Chelsea Embankment to the south of Tite Street and some railway station buildings.

During the 18th century, Gough House stood on the eastern side of the street. It became a school in 1830 and then the Victoria Hospital for Children in 1866. The hospital moved to St George's Hospital, at Tooting in south London, and the original building was demolished in 1968. The site is now occupied by St Wilfred's convent and home for the elderly.

A private entrance to Gordon House is located between 35 and 37 Tite Street.

River House in Tite Street was designed by the church architect Thomas Garner (1839–1906).
