"The Heritage of London Trust has acquired 4 Plaistow Grove, Bromley, a modest terrace where the great man lived between the ages of eight and 20. He lived here as he wrote his first songs, including his iconic early hit 'Space Oddity'. In collaboration with the David Bowie Archive, the house will be restored to its exact '60s appearance, with the centrepiece, naturally, being Bowie's bedroom."
"It should be fascinating for Bowie completists, and also people who really like '60s houses: exactly how much a day out one small house constitutes is TBC but presumably fairly limited, but it'll also serve as a skills workshop for young people via the Trust's Proud Places and Proud Prospects programme. We all know the superstar Bowie became - but this should be a unique insight into the boy he was before that."
David Bowie lived at 4 Plaistow Grove, Bromley, from ages eight to twenty, during which he wrote his first songs including 'Space Oddity'. The Heritage of London Trust has acquired the modest terrace and will restore the house to its exact 1960s appearance in collaboration with the David Bowie Archive, with Bowie's bedroom as the centrepiece. The venue will support youth training through the Trust's Proud Places and Proud Prospects programmes. The project is scheduled to open in late 2027 and appears to be named Bowie's House. Local tourism options linked to Bowie have been limited until now.
