George Frideric Handel lived at 25 Brook Street from 1723 until his death in 1759. During these 36 years, Handel wrote and rehearsed his greatest works. His coronation anthem Zadok the Priest’ was also written in Brook Street. A little over two centuries later, in 1968, Jimi Hendrix moved into an adjoining flat.

The Hallelujah Project…

…will accurately reproduce Handel’s subterranean kitchen, complete with original fixtures and fittings.

The project will also include:

• Handel’s reception rooms
• Updated ticket and subscription sales offices used by Handel’s assistant
• External façade repaired, including Handel’s front door

New exhibitions, performances, masterclasses, and private events will be held at Handel & Hendrix in London, with the proceeds going toward the museum’s educational initiatives. Additionally, the Hendrix exhibit at 23 Brook Street will be enlarged.

Handel & Hendrix is scheduled to re-open to the public on May 18, 2023 —  300 years after Handel first moved in. Tickets go on sale this March.
