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.

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.

#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.
The Cinnamon Club had completely flown under the radar for me. It is in a pocket of London I rarely visit, and even if I did, the building’s exterior gives little indication of what’s inside. But now that I’ve discovered it, I already have plans to return with my husband - and in my mind, a list of friends I would recommend it to…
