Overview
- The Trust announced on January 8 that it has taken ownership of 4 Plaistow Grove in Bromley, where Bowie lived from ages eight to 20.
- Plans call for an immersive visitor experience centered on the recreated 9-by-10-foot bedroom, reflecting the house as it was in the early 1960s.
- Geoffrey Marsh, co-curator of the V&A’s David Bowie Is exhibition, is advising on the interior recreation using a previously unseen archive.
- A £500,000 grant from the Jones Day Foundation has been secured, with a public fundraising campaign launching this month to support the project.
- The site will run creative and skills workshops for young people through the Trust’s Proud Places and Proud Prospects programs, with completion targeted for late 2027.
