Description
Whether you love 18th-century classical music or 20th-century rock, a top London tourist attraction reopens today, 18 May 2023: the Handel Hendrix House, at 25 Brook Street, London W1. After a £3m restoration lasting nearly two years, the house where George Frideric Handel lived from 1723 until he died in 1759 has reopened in ravishing style. An adjoining flat at no 23 – and part of the same museum – is the only place that Jimi Hendrix called home. Olwen Foulkes, assistant researcher, showed me around for today’s podcast. The museum opens 10am-5pm from Wednesday to Sunday, admission £14.This podcast is free, much like my weekly newsletter - subscribe here to get it in your inbox every Friday. Hosted on Acast.
