Rock Legend Jimi Hendrix: Museum in London

Recognising a true Legend in Jimi Hendrix is one thing .  Celebrating where the great man lived makes him an Icon.

Jimi Hendrix’s London home is to open as a permanent museum for the public to visit on 10 February 2016.

The flat at 23 Brook Street, Mayfair has undergone a £2.4m restoration with the help of money from the Heritage Lottery Fund and private donors.

Hendrix bought the third-floor flat in 1968 at a time when he was considering the next phase of his career and that summer he released his Electric Ladyland LP.

Tickets will go on sale on 2 November.

The flat is in the same row as the home of the German-born composer George Frideric Handel, who lived at number 25 Brook Street for 26 years and wrote many of his greatest works, including the Messiah.

Both homes are owned by the Handel House Trust, who have been using the Hendrix flat as an office, only opening it occasionally to the public.
