Banksy confirms new mural in north London

A tree mural in north London that appeared on a residential building overnight is the work of Banksy, the anonymous street artist has confirmed.

“Choosing the colours of our borough just makes it feel like a personal message to us residents. We just feel so proud.” “Banksy’s come to Finsbury Park with a bit of greenery in a place that needs a bit more greenery. We’re the most densely populated constituency in the country and I’m just delighted,” the MP said.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he is ‘delighted’ to see the new Banksy artwork in his Islington North constituency “I’ve been a fan for five, six years now and I’ve travelled across the country and seen his works in Margate, Nottingham, Port Talbot, I even travelled to Paris to see one of his pieces.

“It’s quite mad to be honest, to come down here and just to see all the crowds of people looking at the building,” he told PA. “This fantastic piece from Banksy has sparked a real buzz across Islington and beyond, and we very much want the artwork to stay for people to enjoy. We want to find more ways that we can tell important stories through art and culture.
