8 Royal College Street (London)

United Kingdom / England / London / A5202 Royal College Street, 8

French poets Paul-Marie Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud lived here in 1873.
“It's very lively,” Rimbaud wrote. “You’d think you were in Brussels.”
Mrs Alexander Smith was their landlady in what was then Great College Street, where they stayed in two very small rooms at the top of the house. It was in those rooms that the strains of their relationship finally became insupportable.
