A London townhouse on the same street where Jimi Hendrix and composer George Frideric Handel once lived has gone on sale for £18.5million.
The seven-bedroom Mayfair mansion is on Brook Street, which has been home to some stellar names from the music world.
Royal composer George Frideric Handel, who wrote Messiah and music for the coronation of King George II, lived in Number 25, writing some of his most important works during the time.
Handel was the first occupant of 25 Brook Street, and rented it from 1723 until he died there in 1759.
Guitar icon Jimi Hendrix moved briefly next door into Number 23 Brook Street from 1968 to 1969.

Hendrix decorated the flat, buying soft furnishings from the nearby John Lewis department store and is said to have described the property, which belonged to his girlfriend Kathy Etchingson, as his first real home.
He left to go on tour in the US but the property can be viewed as part of the Handel and Hendrix in London Museum.
Meanwhile, at Number 67 Brook Street, brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb – better known as the Bee Gees – stayed with their manager and producer, Robert Stigwood.
From 1968 to 1980 they composed some of their greatest hits whilst at the property where a plaque was unveiled by the late Robin Gibb in 2008.
At the time he said the building has ‘meant a great deal’ to the brothers.
The street has also been home to designers Sibyl, Lady Colefax and John Fowler, as well as being close to the luxury hotel, Claridges.
