David Bowie Mural

The mural has been flooded with flowers and candles and letters since Bowie’s passing. It’s amazing to see how lived he was and it is a significant time to visit now that all the tributes are still there.

A moving tribute to a genuine musical legend, who will be sorely missed. This mural is really easy to find, due to its proximity to Brixton tube station. I’m not entirely sure who the artist responsible for the Aladdin Sane artwork is, but it’s beautiful. I’d recommend visiting sooner rather than later, as the sea of flowers surrounding this stretch of wall is simply breathtaking.
I really hope people don’t graffiti over this, or that the council doesn’t decide to paint over it, as this can easily become a pilgrimage for Bowie fans and tourists alike, especially with his birthplace (Stansted Road) just around the corner.
A lovely place to light a candle, leave some flowers and connect with fellow fans of David. Or alternatively, just a place to come and quietly reflect what this incredible man meant to you.
