The statue completes the restoration of the long-dormant water fountain, bringing it back to life as a centrepiece for Coronation Gardens.
The new statue honours Fanny Wilkinson, the first professional female landscape designer in Britain.
Fanny was responsible for the design and layout of more than 75 public gardens across London, including Coronation Gardens.
The statue was chosen through a design competition in partnership with the Putney School of Art and Design and has been professionally created following a community-led project with the Heritage of London Trust (HOLT), a charity dedicated to the restoration of historic buildings and monuments, Friends of Coronation Gardens, Enable and Wandsworth Council.
Coronations Gardens is a historic park in Southfields and has recently benefitted from large-scale improvements which included a repair of the water fountain and a renovated playground.
