Director of The Glades, Mark Haynes, said: "We, like many local residents, are extremely proud to say that David Bowie was a Bromley man.
"We wanted to pay a special, birthday tribute to him this year and sharing music is a universal way of bringing people together.
"His work is timeless, transcends generations and sounds as innovative today as it did many years ago.
"The installation looks absolutely fantastic and it’s a great opportunity for die-hard fans and people who aren’t familiar with his sound to sample some hits.
"We’re intrigued to find out which songs are customer favourites and we’d love for people to share their photos of themselves against the backdrop."
