Tree of Life

Hopton Homes, London SE1

Tree of Life- Archbishops Park, SE1

Made with young and adult friends of Archbishops Park.

The tree of life is based on the great fig tree that grows in the garden aganist the North wall. Included in the tree are ceramic represenations of the trades of the people living in Hapton Homes- nurse, waterboatman, deal porter, postman etc. If you walk on the opposite side of Hopton street and look over the wall, in winter when the great fig tree has shed its leaves, you can see the mosaic. Otherwise you will have to ask the warden at No. 21 Hopton Street for access. Please be polite.
