The heritage project is expected to open in late 2027.
David Bowie’s childhood residence has been acquired by the Heritage of London Trust and is anticipated to be accessible to the public by the end of 2027.
It has been a decade since we lost the musical icon, yet Bowie’s impact remains as strong as ever. A true suburban native, his childhood home at 4 Plaistow Grove in Bromley is set for renovation and public opening.
This property was Bowie’s home from the ages of 8 to 20 (1955–1967), marking the beginning of many of his early musical endeavors. It also provided him with sanctuary amidst rising fame, as he continued to visit in later years.
The Heritage of London Trust has taken the initiative to buy the house, which will be restored to reflect its 1960s appearance. Designed to be a living museum, the restoration will replicate the interior precisely as it was during the time Bowie’s father worked at the charity Dr. Barnardo’s and his mother served as a waitress.
Significant progress has been aided by a substantial £500,000 grant from the Jones Day Foundation, which is supported by the attorneys and staff of the Jones Day law firm, and the site is projected to open at the end of 2027.
Dr. Nicola Stacey, Director of Heritage of London Trust, commented: “David Bowie was a proud Londoner. Although his career led him around the globe, he always acknowledged his roots and the community that supported him throughout his upbringing. It’s a privilege to have this chance to share his story and inspire a new generation, while it is crucial for London’s heritage to safeguard this location. We are delighted to have secured a significant grant of £500,000 from the Jones Day Foundation for this project, and we hope many people will want to participate.”
