Devereux Court, Pedestrian street in City of Westminster, England
Description
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.
History
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.
