An effect of Storm Doris was to shift all the litter from the east side of Denmark Hill, top, to the west side, where it was still being blown about.

The butterfly shown is a Camberwell Beauty, so called because the first known British specimen was found here. The species is not native to Britain, occasionally straying here across the channel, so its presence in Camberwell was an accident: nonetheless, the area is extremely proud of its namesake butterfly. Camberwell-based band The House of Love used the butterfly on the cover of their self-titled LP: see http://www.discogs.com/House-Of-Love-The-House-Of-Love/release/4308061. For a closer view of the mural, see Image For another tiled mural, probably the one used on the LP cover, see Image For another local example of the butterfly motif in a different medium, see Image The author who named the Camberwell Beauty also suggested as an alternative name the Grand Surprise: some miles to the south in Shirley the butterfly appears on the sign of the Surprise pub Image

Camberwell is a hub for bus services. There are bus stands in Orpheus Street for services that turn round here. There are two bus garages in the area: see below. The tree lives in Camberwell Green. David Kemp, Editor of the London Bus Review, writes (March 2016): Camberwell is a garage from which the Go-Ahead subsidiary London Central operates contracts awarded to it by Transport for London (TfL). Its official address is Warner Road and it stands on the corner of Warner Road and Camberwell New Road [though the buses themselves enter and leave the garage in Camberwell Station Road http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4872083 ]. Standing opposite Camberwell Garage on Camberwell New Road is Walworth Garage (a former tram depot) from which another company - Abellio - also operates TfL contracts. Hope this is helpful!

The butterflies are 'Camberwell Beauties' that were first discovered in Coldharbour Lane in August 1748. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphalis_antiopa (many thanks to John for this information)
