United Kingdom, Jan. 9 -- David Bowie's childhood home is to be opened to the public.

The property at 4 Plaistow Grove in Bromley - where Bowie lived from the age of eight to 20 and wrote his iconic track Space Oddity - has been acquired by the Heritage of London Trust ahead of the tenth anniversary of the music legend's death on Saturday (10.01.26).

The house will be returned to its early 1960s appearance and a never-before-seen archive will recreate the interior layout as it was when Bowie resided there.

Geoffrey Marsh, co-curator of the V+A Museum's David Bowie Is exhibition, explained how the small house in south-east London was where the Starman singer went from "ordinary suburban schoolboy" to "international stardom".
