Handel Hendrix House, House museum in Mayfair, United Kingdom.
Handel Hendrix House is a museum in two adjoining townhouses at 23 and 25 Brook Street in London's Mayfair neighborhood. The restored rooms display musical instruments, personal belongings, and period furnishings that reflect the lives of its former residents.
German-born composer George Frideric Handel moved to the house in 1723 and remained there until 1759, composing operas and oratorios. About two centuries later, American rock musician Jimi Hendrix occupied the upper floors in 1968.
The house holds the stories of two musicians whose names are deeply tied to London's musical life. Visitors can sense how different eras and styles of music coexisted within the same building.
The rooms are spread across multiple floors connected by stairs, so visitors with mobility concerns should check accessibility details beforehand. Guided tours and musical performances happen regularly, and you can find schedules and booking information online.
Hendrix lived in the house for only a few months, yet his time there became legendary in rock history. Much of his guitar collection and record collection can be seen in the restored rooms.
