Make your own way to Brook Street, where George Frideric Handel and Jimi Hendrix lived, 200 years apart, in central London, to arrive at your preferred time during the opening hours. Then, head inside and explore at your own pace.
Ascend the 250-year-old staircase in Handel’s house, where he lived from 1723 to 1759. Musicians often play harpsichords in the house to add extra atmosphere to your visit.
Wander through the restored music rooms where he composed, rehearsed, and conversed with the musical luminaries of the time, and discover how he penned his most famous work, Messiah, here.
Explore the dressing room and bedroom, where Handel died, and view any temporary additional exhibitions on his life, work, and contemporaries.
Next, visit the third floor: home to the next-door flat where Jimi Hendrix lived from 1968 to 1969. Hear about swinging 1960s London, and how Hendrix, one of the world’s greatest guitarists, described the flat as the first place he’d called home.
See the main room, recreated to how Jimi had it, and learn how he lived and played here, plus other intriguing facts.
Afterward, browse the gift shop for souvenirs (own expense) before departing and bringing your experience to an end.

Itinerary
Enjoy an hour or two exploring this hidden historical gem in the heart of London. At 25 Brook Street, make your way up the wonky, 250 year old staircase and step back in time into George Frideric Handel's music rooms where he composed, rehearsed, performed and conversed with the leading musical luminaries of the baroque age. This is where he wrote Messiah, and these are the windows from which he threatened to throw opera stars when they refused to sing his arias.
Musicians are often found practicing on one of the harpsichords throughout the day, offering a beautiful atmospheric accompaniment as you make your way around Handel's house - don't miss the adjoining current exhibition celebrating the famed baroque tenor John Beard.
Making your way up to the second floor, you will find yourself in Handel's dressing room and the beautiful bedroom in which he eventually died of old age after 35 years at the heart of English music.
On the third floor of the museum, you will find yourself transported to 60s London and the height of its swinging heyday. The city which embraced one of the greatest guitarists the world has ever seen and made him famous, London, held a special place in Jimi Hendrix's heart and he described the flat he lived in with his girlfriend Kathy at 23 Brook Street as the first place he'd ever truly called home. Painstakingly recreated from intensive research and with Kathy's invaluable help on numerous tiny details, a short step away is the room made famous in copious film footage and photographs where Jimi lived, loved and played in 1969 before his tragic death just a year later at the height of his fame at the age of just 27.
