    I was really impressed by the whole experience. The portable guide and pictures/ artifacts/ information boards/ audio/ visual recordings were interesting and informative. Everything was beautifully and clearly presented. There was so much more to see and learn than I had expected. We spent a couple of hours visiting both parts of the museum. We were delighted to watch wonderful performers playing music by or influenced by Handel and Hendrix. The friendly and welcoming guides were fantastic, explaining about the rooms and background relating to Handel and Hendrix. They related interesting facts and answered our questions. Would appeal to all age groups, particularly music enthusiasts. Well worth going and good value.

    I start my review by stating that it is well worth visiting, and that it is a valuable and interesting museum with courteous staff. The gift shop is excellent, and there are clean accessible toilets. The museum guidebook is a vital purchase. But I think the museum has a bit of a dilemma, and a lack of space to handle it (pardon the pun.) Should it focus on being a faithful recreation of how Handel and Hendrix lived on a day to day basis, or a museum about them and their music? My verdict is that it tips the balance to how they lived on a day to day basis. There is not enough wider context. Perhaps with Handel it is to his detriment. His life was so fascinating, his social connections and position in society so special. The museum fails to provide context - I would have liked more on how and why Handel made music for the monarchy. What about his connections with the Duke of Chandos, and Thomas Coram? What did his fellow composers think of him? On the plus side, we see how he lived in a fairly spartan environment compared to stately homes. How his home was also an office, with composition, performances and tickets sold for concerts all taking place. The positive side of how Hendrix is presented is the excellent description of his London life. The closeness to various clubs and clothes shops. The late nights and jam sessions. The punishing work schedule. His bedroom is well presented. The negative side is again, context. How did Hendrix's music fit into the London scene? Was anyone else making similar music? How did it influence subsequent generations? If only there was a bit more space, I would hope these questions and more could be answered.

    Absolutely awful, most rooms are filled with absolutely nothing but a few pictures that can be seen online anyway, the facts etc on the walls are limited and don’t provide any further information than the average fan would already know. The entire place is a replica and has no actual exhibits to look at and the only room that is replicated is Hendrix bedroom! All other rooms are empty. Takes the mick when it’s £14 per person to enter. Better off having a google or visiting a museum with actual things to look at or visiting a local abandoned house for the exact same experience.

    Handal's house is 4 floors, Hendrix flat just 2 rooms, with only 1 set up as lived in. In both parts there is only 1 or 2 pieces that were actually there when the relevant people lived there. Still interesting to visit, heard a good talk from a young lady in Handal's bedroom about a piece of his music. As to cost, I suppose it's about the same as most independant museums. Luckily I have an Art Pass

    There's nothing I can really add to what's already been said. Hendrix was a legend in his own time and true innovator & pioneer of the rock/blues electric guitar, if you're into that genre. You only have to hear 2-3 notes and you know immediately it's Jimi. I'm so glad I did this little 'pilgrimage' to pay homage to 'the man'. Although I went primarily for the 'Hendrix', the 'Handel' was also fascinating. I'm sure for some, that would have been the main reason for their visit. The staff were all helpful and well informed. My only little niggles are that I would have likes to have heard something 'louder and prouder', maybe with a larger screen instead of a little 'telly'. The place is also not easy to find, so read the directions as the entrance is 'round the back down a little alley leading to what looks like a nice restaurant. There also wasn't much in the gift shop (although I think they're closing soon for some improvement work to be done). ENJOY!

    Handel Hendrix House

    Handel Hendrix House

    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.   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.
