The Banksy mural in Finsbury Park has been covered with plastic and surrounded by wooden boards.

The street artist claimed the mural on his social media on 18 March. It features swathes of green paint on a residential building behind a nearby tree to give the appearance of leaves.

Days later it had been strewn with white paint.

Previously, Islington Council said it was installing CCTV cameras and looking at other ways to protect the work - but there is doubt about whether the council is responsible for this covering.

Our reporter Anna O'Neil has been to see what it looks like, and get the verdict of locals.
