London Banksy & The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

May 14, 2012

The web has been abuzz all afternoon with the chatter of a possible new Banksy graffiti art piece in North London. According to locals, this street art stencil piece appeared sometime in the early hours this morning on the sidewall of the Poundland discount shop located on Whymark Avenue in Turnpike Lane, London.

This piece has not officially been confirmed as a Banksy piece, but with the Queen's upcoming Diamond Jubilee, the location of this piece, and the style and cut of the stencil it is highly likely that it's the work of Banksy. Here is a selection of photos Hookedblog captured this evening while we were in North London at the site of the work.

This new London Banksy artwork has now been confirmed as an official Banksy street art piece with the appearance of the artwork on the artist's Banksy website.

This Jubilee stencil piece or as it is now being referred to in the media as Banksy 'Slave Labour' street art mural is as with many of the artists' street works now under a sheet of protective perspex complete with bunting to prevent any damage being done to the work.
