The Heritage of London Trust, a charity organisation based in the capital, have announced that they have acquired the terraced home – 4 Plaistow Grove in Bromley – and will recreate the exact interior layout as it was when the young Bowie lived there between the ages of 8 and 20 (1955 to 1967).
The project is set to be completed in late 2027, and it will be used for creative and skills workshops for young people, acting as a “solid foundation for the next generation” and teaching confidence and communication skills in the arts.
The news was announced today (January 9), on the occasion of what would have been Bowie’s 79th birthday, as well as the 10th anniversary of his landmark final album ‘Blackstar’. Bowie died two days after the record’s release, following an 18-month battle with cancer, with the 10th anniversary of that to be marked on Saturday (January 10).
