A fifth Banksy mural has appeared above a fish and chip shop in London – after four were confirmed by the artist in other parts of the capital this week.
The silhouette of two pelicans, one eating a fish, appeared above Bonners Fish Bar in Walthamstow in the northeast of the capital on Friday morning.
