Despite it's resolutely upmarket location, surrounded by good-looking Victorian townhouses, this is a resolutely local's local. It's not uninviting, but you're better off if you're known in here (and support Arsenal). Still, not a bad place to have a pint and the decor is classic 1970's - a central bar with the pub's name illuminated above is accompanied by Watney's Red Barrel signs (for those who remember it). While other nearby pubs have tweaked themselves to appeal to a younger, affluent crowd, the Earl of Essex stands firm and our visit found it very quiet compared to other nearby places - we just hope when the time inevitably comes that they refurbish with a modicum of restraint.
