Devereux Court, Pedestrian street in City of Westminster, England
Devereux Court is a pedestrian street featuring three-story buildings with stucco facades and Georgian-style windows arranged in six bays across the facades. The street runs south from the Strand with consistent architectural styling throughout.
Nicholas Barbon developed this street between 1675 and 1680 on land that once held Essex House, establishing the street layout that remains today. His building project shaped how this neighborhood developed for centuries to come.
The Grecian Coffee House once drew scholars and writers of the Royal Society to gather and exchange ideas in the late 1700s. This gathering spot shows how the alley served as a hub for intellectual conversation during that era.
Temple Underground station sits about 270 meters away, making it easy to reach the street by public transport. The area also has a medical center nearby for any immediate needs.
A stone bust and plaque reading 'This is Devereux Court, 1676' commemorate Robert Devereux, the Second Earl of Essex, who once held land here. These markers serve as a direct link to the street's past.
