Handel Hendrix House
Mayfair, London · UK
Two apartments in Mayfair where Handel composed from 1723 and Jimi Hendrix lived 200 years later. Nestled in the heart of Mayfair, it preserves an extraordinary record of George Frideric Handel's work and life for visitors to discover.
Among the highlights is the original Georgian rooms, which gives visitors a vivid sense of George Frideric Handel's work and life. The influence of Georgian is evident throughout. The curators have done exceptional work in bringing the history of the place to life.
Visiting Handel Hendrix House is a genuinely rewarding experience. The urban setting adds considerably to the atmosphere — there is something particularly affecting about encountering George Frideric Handel's work and life in a real place rather than a purpose-built gallery. Allow at least an hour and a half to do it justice.

I've been wanting to visit Handel Hendrix House for years, and it didn't disappoint. Everything from the original Georgian rooms to the overall atmosphere is superb. Worth every penny of the entrance fee.
We spent about two hours here and wished we'd had more time. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the Jimi Hendrix connection was impeccable. The museum shop is also worth a browse.
