Khadija’s Garden. Such a small name for a place that holds so much life. Before you, bursting with colour, is a pocket park unlike any other in London. It wasn’t always this vibrant. This little slice of Hoxton was once a rather bleak corner. But in 2016, PEER, a nearby art gallery, decided to do something about it. They, along with local architects and artists, transformed the space into the flourishing garden you see today. But the story doesn’t end there. Khadija Saye, a talented young artist, was a key part of the garden’s creation. She worked as an intern at PEER, pouring her heart and soul into making this green space a reality. Tragically, Khadija and her mother lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. To honour her memory and her contribution, the garden was renamed Khadija’s Garden. Take a moment to appreciate the vibrant plants climbing the walls. The artwork by Chris Ofili on the rotating clock adds a unique touch. It’s a living memorial to Khadija, a testament to the power of community and a reminder that even in the heart of the city, life finds a way to bloom.
