St Saviourgate is lined with an eclectic mix of buildings. The architectural styles range from modified medieval, through classic Georgian and Victorian, to brutalist 1960s concrete.

This row of Georgian terraced houses at the northeast end of St Saviourgate contrasts markedly with the smaller scale of the adjacent almshouses (right).

The south-western end of St Saviourgate (where it meets The Stonebow) is dominated by the rear of Stonebow House. This concrete, brick and glass structure was built in 1965 and it is a typical example of what is now referred to as

"the most prominent example in the city of the ‘Brutalist’ strand of Modernist architecture".

Stonebow House was refurbished in 2016-18, but this did little to relieve the brutal appearance of the elevation facing St Saviourgate.
