The Vibe of Hendrix & Handel lives. - An excellent experience. I initially went because of the Hendrix connection. The Handel House was beautiful and a real effort has been made to recreate the atmosphere. The lady who was in the rooms to give more Info and answer any questions was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The Hendrix room(which was his main hangout) was like walking back in time to the 60s. The adjoining rooms were full of information and displays which was nicely laid out. The house has been modified quite extensively since the 60s so some rooms & staircases have changed. It would have been good to see more of what the flat consisted of, but overall the experience was very good and it was well worth the entrance fee.

What a trip! - Very interesting walk through history! I visited mainly for Hendrix but found myself quite intrigued by the Handel section of the house as well. A lot of fascinating facts and objects and some very knowledgeable and approachable staff made it a fantastic trip!

Amazing Museum linking two musical geniuses separated by 300 years! - Visited the museum twice since the refurbishment. The rooms are wonderful and the audio experience of Handel’s greatest hits was brilliant. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Many are volunteers who really enjoy sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for the museum. On my last visit there was some wonderful live music in the Handel part of the museum played on replica instruments in of the era which was tremendously evocative!

Wonderful museum - I was really impressed by the whole experience. The portable guide and pictures/ artifacts/ information boards/ audio/ visual recordings were interesting and informative. Everything was beautifully and clearly presented. There was so much more to see and learn than I had expected. We spent a couple of hours visiting both parts of the museum. We were delighted to watch wonderful performers playing music by or influenced by Handel and Hendrix. The friendly and welcoming guides were fantastic, explaining about the rooms and background relating to Handel and Hendrix. They related interesting facts and answered our questions. Would appeal to all age groups, particularly music enthusiasts. Well worth going and good value.

Could be better - Small museum in the heart of London. You can visit the houses of Händel and Jimi Hendrix who lived next to each other. This was nice to go to but talking to the guides most of the items were replicas.

This is not what I had hoped for and expected. - Utterly disappointing and a complete waste of time and money. I thought I was going to see the flat Hendrix lived in. Instead it was his bedroom and even that room only had the original mirror. There is no access to kitchen or bathroom so no atmosphere. His bedroom had Xmas trees too which are completely out of place. I am so upset.
