It seems the famed street artist Banksy might have left his mark on London once again, after a new work of art was discovered in the depths of the city.

The painting, which depicts a youngster kneeling in front of a sewing machine stitching a section of union flag bunting has appeared on the wall of a supermarket, located in Wood Green in North London. It’s a dramatic piece, with passers by stopping in awe of the artwork, which is emblazoned with real bunting.

Professor Paul Gough, an academic who studied the work of the prolific artist, believes the image possesses all the tell tale signs of an authentic Banksy piece. He said: "The stencil is very well cut, the quality of the spraying and that unique feathered edge that he is able to achieve when painting white on to black is reminiscent of several other pieces in the capital."

It is the first time the artist has hit that area of the capital since 2009, after painting children playing with a No Ball Games sign in Tottenham Court Road. If you happen to be staying in any of the London hostels in the coming months, why not come along and admire this unique work of art?
