Limes Walk Community Garden in partnership with Southwark Council, commissioned mural artist Claire Ward-Thornton (CWT) to deliver a new public art mural completed in May 2025. The mural celebrates the green haven which the community of Limes Walk have created, nestled in a corner of the urban landscape, previously an unused area of land.

The mural, painted on the side wall of Victorian terrace 58 Linden Grove, SE15 3LF can be seen at the junction of Limes Walk on Linden Grove in Nunhead, Peckham. The artwork reaches 10.5m in height and covers a surface area of approx 100 m2, creating a visible landmark to the community garden a short distance from Nunhead Cemetery.
Rooted within the northern end of the community garden, the mural design celebrates the awe inspiring power of nature and the positive impact of its presence in city life. The design includes botanicals at various points of the life cycle, observing the seasons, the beauty in the various stages of growth and the value of time, change and renewal.
The mural was funded through Southwarks Cleaner Greener Safer (CGS) programme which was established in 2003 and offers the opportunity for local organisations or individuals who live or work in Southwark to access funding to complete projects which benefit the local community in making it greener, more vibrant or more safe.
