Handel & Hendrix in London: Entry Ticket

Book tickets to one of the best things to do in London for families and music fans!

Although centuries apart, George Handel and Jimi Hendrix lived only metres away from each other. Whilst both sharing an interest in music, they also shared an interest in their humble abodes in Brook Street, where Handel composed for 36 years and Jimi Hendrix held famous TV appearances. With Handel living at number 25 and Hendrix at number 23, the Handel Hendrix House now invites you to the homes of these historical and iconic music innovators. 

The Handel House - a great family day out for history buffs

Occupying the first four floors of 25 Brook Street, the established and famed Handel lived from 1723 - 1759. During this time, he penned his most famous piece of work, Messiah. Inside the former music composers residence, you'll find:

• Bedroom: Fully restored, where the music enthusiast passed away peacefully in bed 
• Dining Room: See where Handel performed informal recitals for friends and neighbours.

The Hendrix Flat - Rock, Roll & Relaxation in Mayfair

The widely-loved and world-famous Jimi Hendrix resided on the top floor of 23 Brook Street from July 1968 to March 1969. As well as feeling like a rock 'n' roll star, inside Hendrix's flat you'll find:
