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.
