Located in the heart of London’s Mayfair, Handel & Hendrix in London offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and works of two of the greatest musicians in history: George Frideric Handel and Jimi Hendrix. This unique museum celebrates the rich cultural heritage and enduring influence of these iconic figures, who, despite living centuries apart, share an extraordinary connection through their former residences.
We are passionate about British produce and create menus that showcase this, with a focus on the provenance of the ingredients. We ensure our menus emphasise our ‘field to fork’ concept and feature the best local and wild seasonal ingredients that have been responsibly sourced.
Handel & Hendrix in London encompasses two distinct yet historically significant properties. At 25 Brook Street, visitors can explore the meticulously restored Georgian townhouse where composer George Frideric Handel lived and worked for 36 years. Just next door, at 23 Brook Street, the museum also includes the flat where rock legend Jimi Hendrix resided during the late 1960s.
George Frideric Handel, the renowned Baroque composer, moved into 25 Brook Street in 1723. Here, he composed some of his most famous works, including the Messiah, Water Music, and Music for the Royal Fireworks. The house has been carefully restored to reflect the period in which Handel lived, offering an immersive experience for visitors.
Jimi Hendrix, the legendary guitarist and cultural icon, lived at 23 Brook Street from 1968 to 1969. During this time, he was at the height of his career, having released groundbreaking albums like Are You Experienced and Electric Ladyland. Hendrix’s flat has been restored to its 1960s decor, reflecting his eclectic style and vibrant personality.
Handel & Hendrix in London regularly hosts exhibitions and events that delve deeper into the lives and legacies of these two musical giants. From themed exhibitions to live performances and educational workshops, the museum offers a dynamic programme that appeals to music enthusiasts of all ages.
