Description
No. 34 Tite Street is a 19th-century terrace house of historic interest. Originally numbered 16, it served as the family home of Oscar Wilde and his wife, Constance Lloyd, from their marriage in 1884, and subsequently housed their children, Cyril (born 1885) and Vyvyan (born 1886). The Wilde family resided there until Wilde's trial for ‘gross indecency’ in 1895, which resulted in a two-year sentence of hard labour. Following Wilde’s conviction, Constance Lloyd Holland changed her surname to Holland and moved her sons to schools in Europe. A London County Council plaque commemorates the Wilde connection. The house is brick-built, featuring a two-storied bay window, and extends over three storeys, a basement and an attic. The interior was decorated for Wilde in 1884 by E.W. Godwin.
