I'm fairly sure this is a Common Wall Lizard, there is a good colony at the Ventnor Botanical Gardens on the Isle of Wight.

This one was on the floor of the plant shop!

A custom built Wall Lizard Wall runs parallel to the Hothouse in which the plant shop is situated. This wall is made of sheets of overlapped marine plywood. A stone wall has also recently been made but was buried temporarily under rubble due to garden work, last time I saw it. (approx 4 weeks ago)
