A great small museum focusing on its 2 famous inhabitants across a wall and 200 years. Nicely done and about to be closed from September 2021 for a major renovation until 2023.

HISTORY UK

Handel lived at no.25 between 1723 and his death in 1756, and composed his Messiah and Zadok the Priest among many other works here. The interior is now a faithful recreation from this period.

Carl Griffin

Handel's residence for the last 36 years. He wrote Messiah here. Interestingly Jimi Hendrix lived next door a couple of centuries later.

A gem of a museum. Sign up for the tour of the private residences. Only a few people can go every hour or so. It’s a wonderful way to learn more about Soane and see his family’s quarters. - Angela

Best department store in London. Recommend the food hall as well. And if you go there half an hour before closing on sundays..a lot of the fresh deli foods (sushi/sandwiches/pies etc) are half price! - James K22
