Devereux Court

[[File: Gateway from Devereux Court 20130414 080.JPG|thumb|Gateway from Devereux Court]] Devereux Court is a street in the City of Westminster that runs from Strand in the north to Essex Street in the south. It is entirely pedestrianised.

The street is named after Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, whose Essex House mansion once occupied part of the site.^[1]^[2]

It is occupied by some barristers' chambers and three public houses: The George, The Devereux, and the Edgar Wallace. The Devereux stands on the site of the celebrated Grecian Coffee House, which shut in 1843.
