The childhood home of rock legend David Bowie in Bromley, south London, will open to the public as a museum, offering a glimpse into his early life and the domestic environment of the 1950s and 60s. The Heritage of London Trust is restoring the house at 47 Stansfield Road, with plans to open it to visitors.

Heritage of London Trust director Nicola Stacey said the house will offer visitors insight into Bowie’s creative origins, and into domestic life in the 1950s and 1960s, a period of huge social change.

“I’m keen that it doesn’t feel static, it doesn’t feel sterile, there’s a sense of the family living there,” she said. “And a sense of that you’ve really walked into David Bowie’s life in the 1960s.”

The announcement came as fans mark a decade as Bowie’s death at age 69 on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of his final album, “Blackstar.”

A decade on, Bowie’s cultural legacy in music, style and design continues to inspire. His extensive archive – comprising over 80,000 items – opened to the public in 2023 at the V&A Museum’s David Bowie Center in east London.
