The Heritage of London Trust says the immersive site will launch with a £500,000 Jones Day Foundation grant.

Overview

  • Iman and Alexandria “Lexi” Jones shared birthday posts honoring David Bowie, as the week also marks a decade since Blackstar and his death in January 2016.
  • Longtime collaborators and admirers, including producer Tony Visconti and photographer Anton Corbijn, posted memories and tributes.
  • Heritage of London Trust announced plans to open 4 Plaistow Grove in Bromley as an immersive public experience.

  • Lexi later posted frustration that friends had not reached out on the day, highlighting the private strain surrounding public commemorations.
