Handel and Hendrix House, London

Home to the German-born baroque composer George Frideric Handel from the summer of 1723 until his death at the property in April 1759, this house in the fine London district of Mayfair is a must for all music fans who are interested in taking a step back in time to the inspirational surroundings of two of the most talented artists that the music world has ever known.

Stunningly restored, visit four historic rooms including the bedroom and the dining room which was used for rehearsals and informal recitals for friends and neighbours.

Then travel forward 200 years through the doors of the Hendrix Flat where the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix lived from July 1968 to March 1969. Opened to the public permanently for the first time in early 2016, the main room of this upstairs flat has been restored to the days of the swinging sixties. Discover how it was used to entertain friends, rehearse and pen new music and served as a base for press interviews. The flat is decorated with fabrics and ornaments from fashionable outlets of the era such as the department store John Lewis and world-famous Portobello Market.
