Possibly the most famous pub in Essex, the King's Head was imortalised in Charles Dickens' Barnaby Rudge as the Maypole Inn (a real Maypole does exist in Chigwell). For many years the favourite watering hole of the city merchants and bankers who had the country estates out of London. Has been used as a court and a girl's school.
