Royal College Street is a major thoroughfare in London, England, within the St Pancras and Somers Town ward in the Borough of Camden.

The Rimbaud and Verlaine Foundation intends to create a "poetry house" at 8 Royal College Street.

[4] The Foundation was initiated by Poet in the City, which inherited a campaign to create an Anglo-French cultural centre at Rimbaud and Verlaine's former home.

[5] The campaign to save the house was run over many years by Gerry Harrison,[6] a Camden councillor, during the process of which many celebrities have rallied to the cause, including the actor Simon Callow,[7] the writers Julian Barnes,[6][8] Lisa Appignanesi[6] and Tracy Chevalier and the rock star Patti Smith.

Poet in the City, and now the Rimbaud and Verlaine Foundation, with the support of the Fondation L-A Finances pour la Poésie in Paris and the law firm Herbert Smith, are seeking to raise money for a maintenance fund, allowing for the creation of a "poetry house" at 8 Royal College Street.
