A former concrete shed at Northwick Parkside in Harrow is now covered by a mural created by University of Westminster illustration student Danling Su. The artwork brightens a corner of the development opposite Northwick Park Hospital.
Sovereign Network Group (SNG) launched a public art competition in January, inviting art students from the University of Westminster’s Harrow campus to submit concepts. Ms Su’s design was selected from three finalists through a public vote on SNG’s social media channels.

Mural artist Miguel Fons painted Ms Su’s design onto the structure in May. He spent nearly two weeks completing the project. Mr Fons stated that Ms Su’s design provided a strong creative vision and that it was rewarding to help turn it into a landmark artwork for the community.
The artwork celebrates the Northwick Parkside community by depicting connections between healthcare, education, and home life. Organic forms and flowers symbolise growth, while a guardian figure represents care and protection. An apple in the design illustrates the link between healthcare and education.
Seeing my mural design come to life has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s exciting to know that something which started as an idea in my sketchbook will become part of a real community.
