Banksy Art in London: A Handy Map to Find the Best Spots

Jun, 2011 by Marie-Eve Vallieres in Destinations, Europe Travel, United Kingdom Finding Banksy art in London is like trying to find a needle in a haystack – everyone knows it’s there, but very few people can actually point to it.

With most of his work being conducted at night it’s hard to imagine that Banksy lets his hair down that often (does he even have hair?). All that clandestine stencil spraying must get pretty tiring, so surely the last thing on your mind would be to attend a celeb-filled party.
