Your kind of afternoon

Before the stardust. Beyond the mural.

Bowie’s story starts in an ordinary neighbourhood with an extraordinary pulse. Walk through Brixton’s everyday life, from music memories to market energy, and see the place behind the legend.

The six-stop guide mixes Bowie connections with the wider character of Brixton. Stories, little missions and a playlist give you reasons to pause beyond the obvious photograph.

Out on the walk

What you'll do on the walk

Say hello to Bowie at the mural where Brixton remembers him. Let Electric Avenue’s market noise do the soundtrack, then follow the streets that knew him long before the stardust. Headphones optional; humming encouraged.
