'Really annoying': Finsbury Park Banksy defaced already
Available for over a year
A mural painted by street artist Banksy on a residential building in Finsbury Park has been defaced already, just days after it was painted. The artwork appeared on Sunday 17 March, featuring swathes of green paint on a wall behind a nearby tree, to give the appearance of leaves, with a stencil of a person next to it. But by the following Wednesday morning, local resident Matt McKenna, 35, saw white paint had been strewn over the wall. Tall metal fencing has also been installed around the tree and wall. 91福利社 Radio London's Salma El-Wardany got the reaction of James Peak, host of 'The Banksy Story' podcast.
