About the memorial: Mural depicts various well-known WW1 images together with some large poppies. There is a metal dedication plaque. The mural is painted on the air shaft of the former WW2 deep level air raid shelter at Stockwell Station (the shelter still exists but is sealed off except for very special visits). The Gardens and the Borough War Memorial themselves are WMO/120318. They are built on the site of the depot of the City and South London Railway (now the Northern Line of London Underground) from when Stockwell was originally the southern terminus of the line before its extension to Morden. The London Gardens website states that the mural specifically commemorates Violette Szabo. This image was added in 2001. She was brought up in Stockwell. The presence of former Stockwell residents Roger Moore and Vincent van Gogh is less convincing as a war memorial.
