With its grey front door and battered picket fence, No 4 Plaistow Grove in the anonymous London suburb of Bromley is unremarkable in every way except for one.
The modest town house – originally built as a cottage for railway workers in the late 19th century – is the childhood home of pop phenomenon David Bowie.
An inscription on a small blue plaque to the right of the front door is the only clue to the property’s extraordinary past.
“David Bowie Singer and Talented Musician 1955 to 1968”, it reads, a reference to the 13 years he spent living there.
Now, the house has been acquired by a leading London heritage body, which plans to turn it into a Bowie immersive experience.
