Banksy: Fifth London work in five days appears in Walthamstow

The artist Banksy has confirmed he is behind a new artwork of two pelicans above a fish and chip shop in north-east London.

The birds are shown in silhouette, fishing, above the the shop on the corner of Pretoria Avenue and Northcote Road, Walthamstow. It is the fifth London image this week Banksy has confirmed is his work.

A goat appeared in Kew on Monday while an image of two elephants touching trunks in Chelsea was first seen on Tuesday, although on Friday it was seen defaced with stripes.

Three monkeys hanging from a bridge in Brick Lane drew crowds on Wednesday, and a howling wolf on a satellite dish was seen in Peckham on Thursday – which within hours was believed to have been stolen.
