Visit the place where George Frideric Handel wrote many of his most famous works.
Located at 25 Brook St (close to Oxford St Underground station) Handel House was the home to the famous baroque composer from 1723 until his death in 1759. During his residence at this attractive Georgian town house in the heart of London’s West End, Handel composed such seminal works as the Messiah, Zadok The Priest and Fireworks Music.
One of the many specialist London museums, Handel House Museum celebrates Handel’s life and works, as well his contemporaries in what many consider the golden age of classical music. The beautifully restored interiors give a sense of what life must have been like for this hugely influential composer at the peak of his power.
On a different musical theme, the adjoining house to the Handel House Museum at 23 Brook St was home to another musical genius, Jimi Hendrix who lived at the house in the late 60s.
London Pass holders can get free entry at several other London museums including special exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery, a short walk from the Handel House Museum.
Please note: building work is currently taking place at Handel House and the museum will remain open throughout the works. There will be no lift access for about six months from Monday 27 April 2015 and visitors will have to use the staircases. There will also be restricted access to discreet areas of the building but the historic rooms including the Rehearsal and Performance Room where our weekly concerts take place will remain open throughout the project.
If you have any questions or concerns about visiting we suggest you call the museum office on 020 7495 1685 before arrival to best accommodate your needs.
