Brixton's David Bowie mural is getting listed by Lambeth Council

Rob Greig

After the sad news of David Bowie's death back in January, fans flocked to Brixton to pay tribute at the Ziggy Stardust mural, leaving tributes and flowers to commemorate the Brixton-born singer. It's since become something of a shrine to the musical legend and now Lambeth Council has announced plans to protect the site by getting the mural listed. The council is also considering renaming the street in Tunstall Place and is in talks with David Bowie's family about a permanent memorial.
