The Borough Compter was a small compter or prison initially located in Southwark High Street but moved to nearby Tooley Street in the 18th century, where it stood until demolished until 1855. It took its name from 'The Borough', a historic name for the Southwark area of London on the south side of the River Thames from the City of London. This replaced a lock-up as part of the City's court house under the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen of the City, and their High-Bailiff of Southwark. This first court house was converted from part of the old parish church of St Margaret's, and destroyed in the Great Fire of Southwark in 1676.
