Handel & Hendrix in London
A single Mayfair museum spanning two adjoining Brook Street addresses: composer George Frideric Handel's home from 1723 until his death in 1759, and Jimi Hendrix's flat two centuries later from 1968–1969.

Did you know
Hendrix moved into the top-floor flat at 23 Brook Street in 1968 apparently unaware that Handel, a composer Hendrix later said he actually went out and bought records of, had lived and died right next door two hundred years earlier.
Local tip
Don't treat this as one museum with a split personality. The Handel rooms (where his best-known operas and oratorios were composed) and the restored Hendrix flat are genuinely two different experiences under one roof, worth appreciating separately.
