Handel & Hendrix in London
Recommended by
Overview
Home to George Frideric Handel from 1723 until his death in 1759, the Handel House Museum celebrates Handel's music and life. It was here that Handel composed Messiah, Zadok the Priest and Music for the Royal Fireworks. Just over 200 years after Handel's death, Jimi Hendrix moved into a flat next door, and the museum has recently been extended to explore the life of this flamboyant and immensely influential singer-guitarist.
