Bowie's House

HOLT is excited to share the news of Bowie's House  - we're announcing the landmark acquisition of the family home of David Robert Jones - the modest south London terrace where the boy became David Bowie. Located at 4 Plaistow Grove in Bromley, the property served as Bowie’s creative sanctuary from ages 8 to 20 (1955–1967). The property marks the site where Bowie’s musical journey began; it was here that he wrote his formative songs and regularly returned in the following years, as he wrote his breakthrough smash hit Space Oddity, which rocketed him to pop fame.

To preserve the house is to protect the spark, the formative years that shaped one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

A living, creative space, part museum, part performance, part memory, Bowie’s House aims to open to the public by the end of 2027. It will be a site of inspiration, a place to learn, explore or simply stand in the room where a spark became a flame.
