George Frideric Handel lived at 25 Brook Street in Mayfair from 1723 until his death in 1759. It was here that Handel wrote and rehearsed his greatest works, including Messiah and the coronation anthem Zadok the Priest, which was performed at the coronation of King Charles III. In 1968, Jimi Hendrix moved into an adjoining flat at number 23. Here, in the only place he said he felt truly at home, and where Hendrix entertained, inspired and collaborated with other icons of British 60s rock music. The first three floors are dedicated to Handel. There is a female piano player playing Handel and others. The top floor flat is where Jimi Hendrix actually lived. There are replicas of all the things he liked in the flat. There is a wall of all his fave record covers and a great list of all the UK gigs and jams he did in the UK , including when he played places like Slough and Hounslow. There is a male guitarist playing Hendrix tracks . The venue can be hired for up to 100 guests. Complimentary white wines , canapes and desserts . then 10pm to 12pm.
