Overnight on Sunday 17th March 2024, the latest “BANKSY” mural of green paint that had suddenly appeared on a side wall of a building in the Hornsey Road-London N7 – the Holloway/Finsbury Park area of North London)
From a distance, the green painted area that sits behind an existing tree standing next to a flats, looks like it is part of the tree.
The famous but totally elusive Banksy confirmed early on Monday 18th March, that he was the culprit –
Since ‘Banksy’ confirmed that he was indeed to creator of this new mural – there has been extensive coverage of its existence on tv/radio/social media – causing hundreds of people to flock down to the Hornsey Road to see this new landmark and take their photos.

My ‘London Shoes’ legged it down there on Weds 20th March, just 3 days following its arrival – and there were loads of people down there at the location.

The area was fenced off on Weds 20th, as people were clambering all over the lawn/gardens in front of the flats – but even with the mural site fenced off, that still didn’t prevent some twat chucking a load of white paint over it
When my London Shoes visited the site – just 3 days following its appearance – loads of ‘sightseers’ turned up

“The Landseer Arms” pub – located in Landseer Road-London N19 – just off the Holloway Road.
‘The Landseer Arms’ was built in 1874, but the pub has seen many changes over the years.

In 2002 the pub was re-named after ‘Sir Edwin Landseer’, the guy that designed the Trafalgar Square Lions.
The ‘Landseer Arms’ has plenty of room, with seating outside as well – and they serve up a quality pint of Guinness.
Me – & my mate Pete, my companion for the day – necking down a couple of perfect Guinness’s outside the ‘Landseer Arms’ pub – just off the Holloway Road – North London
Inside the Landseer Arms pub – just off the Holloway Road

That Guinness looked lovely 🤩
It also tasted as good as it looked…..

I think a tree is said to be “in full leaf” rather than blooming
I’m looking forward to joining you soon on one of your walks
Awesome blog.Why would anyone throw white paint on it. Beggars belief doesn’t it. Hope you are fully recovered.
Ha, when I saw a report about the painting earlier in the week I thought he had actually painted a tree on the side of the building, didn’t realise it was just the ‘leaves’! Anyway, don’t really understand why someone then thinks it’s a good idea to chuck paint over it 🙄
Mad or what!!!! Cut down a tree to paint a tree.
