Handel House occupies four floors of 25 Brook Street, the building in which the composer George Frideric Handel lived from 1723 until his death in 1759. The restored historic rooms include his bedroom, kitchen and the dining room in which he rehearsed his musicians and singers and often gave informal recitals for friends and neighbours. Additional rooms are used for exhibitions which focus on aspects of Handel’s life, professional career and instruments.
Hendrix Flat occupies the upper floor of 23 Brook Street, in which Jimi Hendrix lived from July 1968 to March 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. Permanent exhibitions introduce Hendrix’s place in the musical and social world of 1960s London, his influences and his legacy.
Talks, music rehearsals, guitar sessions and family days are presented weekly.
Thursdays: Talk, 2pm
Fridays: Live guitar rehearsal, 11-1pm
Saturdays: Family activities and Baroque rehearsals, 10-12pm & 1-3pm
