Interesting facts about Hendel, the charity and worth a short visit to contemplate the original manuscripts whilst listening to music .

24 January: Built in the 1930s, lthough it contains three rooms with interiors from the 18th century. An amazing collection of art , which was the first public collection in the country .

Eat in the Coram Cafe right next store--the food is amazing!

Expensive for what it is. But has some interesting stories to tell. If you can justify this much money for an hour or two, go for it.
