A six-floor Grade II 18th-century house at 57 Wimpole Street is where Paul McCartney resided from 1964--66, staying on the top floor of girlfriend Jane Asher's family home in a room overlooking Browning Mews in the back, and with John Lennon writing ``I Want to Hold Your Hand'' on a piano in the basement. At her father's house at number 50 lived for some time between 1840 and 1845, Elizabeth Barrett, then known as the author of a volume of poems, and who afterwards escaped and was better known as Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
