On the exterior of 23 Brook St is an blue English heritage plaque indicating that Jimi Hendrix lived at the location from 1968-1969. The plaque was dedicated on Sept. 15, 1997 by Pete Townshend.
The flat was mainly lived in by Hendrix's girlfriend at the time, Kathy Etchingham, and her friend, Angie Bourdon.
Next door at 25 Brook Street is the Handel House Museum, where German-born baroque composer George Frideric Handel made his home in London in 1712 and eventually became a British citizen in 1727.
