From Suburban Boy to Rock Legend

Hey, music lovers! Get ready to walk the halls that once echoed with the dreams of a young David Bowie. The iconic musician's childhood home in Bromley, South London, is about to turn into the ultimate destination for fans and history buffs alike. Thanks to the efforts of the Heritage of London Trust, this 19th-century railway worker’s cottage is set to be restored to its swinging ‘60s style and open to the public next year.

It was in this house that a young David Jones (as he was known before adopting his legendary stage name) spent countless hours in his 9-by-10-foot bedroom, dreaming up his future stardom. Geoffrey Marsh, co-curator of the 2013 V&A
