A huge new mural has been unveiled commemorating Peckham Olympic BMX star Kye Whyte on his home turf.
The mural is on the side of the Prince of Peckham pub just off Queen’s Road. The caption reads: “From Peckham to the World.”
Kye’s coach Michael Pusey said he was delighted with the new, permanent mural. “All the years we’ve been working in Southwark, now we’re set in stone.”
Peckham BMX coach: numbers up 40 per cent after Kye Whyte Olympic success
Kye won silver at last year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. He said that much of his success was due to the hours he put in at the £1.2m Burgess Park track, which was paid for in part by Southwark’s 2012 Olympic Legacy Fund.
