Separated by a wall & 200 years are the homes of two musicians who chose London & changed music.
Handel House occupies two floors of 25 Brook Street, the building in which the composer George Frideric Handel lived from 1723 until his death in 1759. The four restored historic rooms include his bedroom, and the dining room in which he rehearsed his musicians and singers and often gave informal recitals for friends and neighbours. Additional rooms in the adjoining house are used for temporary exhibitions which focus on aspects of Handel’s life, professional career and associates.
Hendrix Flat occupies the upper floor of 23 Brook Street, in which Jimi Hendrix lived between 1968 and 1969. The main room of the flat where he lived, entertained friends, rehearsed and wrote new music, and gave numerous press and media interviews has been restored. A permanent exhibition introduces Hendrix’s place in the musical and social world of 1960s London, his influences and his legacy.
Live music is also an important part of what we do at Handel & Hendrix in London to bring to life the world of these two musical greats. Rehearsals, masterclasses, Saturday talks and the weekly concert series celebrate both Handel’s and Hendrix’s London, and many of the baroque recitals taking place in the historic Rehearsal and Performance Room where Handel would rehearse his latest operas or oratorios with musicians and singers.
