Where to find Banksy’s latest animal-themed artwork in London
This week, the renowned street artist Banksy has unveiled what many are dubbing a ‘London Zoo’ series, with seven new animal-themed artworks appearing across the city. Banksy confirmed these works as his own through a series of Instagram posts. To help you explore these latest creations, we’ve put together a guide on where to find them in London, including tips on how to locate them on Google Maps.

#FLODown: By Wednesday, a trio of monkeys appeared swinging across a bridge over Brick Lane, just a short walk from Shoreditch High Street Station.
Location: Brick Lane Bridge, 113 Brick Ln, London E1 6SE.
Howling Wolf, Peckham
A howling wolf on a satellite dish was initially perched on top of this building on Peckham’s Rye Lane before being stolen by thieves just hours after its unveiling was reported.
#FLODown: A howling wolf, painted on a satellite dish on Peckham’s Rye Lane, was unveiled on Thursday. Unfortunately, it was stolen by thieves just an hour after it appeared. We arrived shortly after to find a crowd of bystanders and photographers, all dismayed by the theft. Many speculated whether this was part of an elaborate stunt. Could the artwork reappear elsewhere? Notably, a previous Banksy piece—a ‘Stop Traffic’ sign on Commercial Way in Peckham—was stolen in December 2023, and we have yet to see it resurface.
Location: Rye Lane, Peckham, next to the Chartwell Cancer Trust Shop.
Pelicans, Walthamstow
The fifth Banksy artwork, featuring two birds, appeared on the wall of a fish and chip shop in Walthamstow.
#FLODown: The fifth artwork in Banksy’s London series appeared on the wall of a fish and chip shop in Walthamstow, featuring two bird silhouettes.
Location: Bonners Fish Bar, 144 Northcote Rd, E17 7EB, on the Pretoria Avenue side.
Cat, Cricklewood

#FLODOwn: Banksy's sixth artwork briefly appeared on a shabby empty billboard on Edgware Road in Cricklewood, north-west London. A few hours later, it was removed by contractors who said they did so to prevent it from being vandalised or removed.
Location: Edware Road, Cricklewood, north-west London.
Piranhas, City of London

#FLODown: The final work to appear in London throughout the week was a tank of piranhas on a police box in the City of London. Unlike the previous works seen in the city this week, this piece is different in style, with the artist adding a splash of colour to the work.
Location: Ludgate Hill - near The Old Bailey and St Paul's Cathedral.

Frieze week brought more than Frieze itself to London this October. A run of new art fairs debuted across the city, each with its own model, its own price bracket and its own idea of who it was for.

Few things are more English than afternoon tea, and Frieze week is as good a time as any to book one.

It moved from a private habit to a social occasion to a national one, and nearly two centuries on it is booked more than ever…
