Hang-Up Gallery on Stoke Newington High Street are showing unique prints of the reclusive street artist’s paintings.
The works will be displayed in their cosy underground “Banksy Bunker” starting from the end of March.
The prints, recognisable to Banksy fans, are expected to fetch at least £50,000 when they go on sale.
Could raise over £1m
With the prints on display the gallery could raise over £1m.
Punters and art geeks can gawp at authentic signed copies of Banksy’s famous “No Ball Games” and “Laugh now but one day we’ll be in charge” monkey paintings, even if for most the price is a bit steep.

Gallery director Ben Cotton said: “It’s exciting to have so much of Banksy’s work here.
“A lot of his prints are just sat in the back room here or in people’s homes who want to sell, so it makes sense to display them.
He added that he wasn’t sure if the famous graffitist was happy about his work being sold on.
With 500 painting sales under its belt since 2008, Hang-Up Gallery has become a leading seller of the artist’s works online.
"Phenomenal" level of interest
It is planning a larger exhibition of Banksy works to go on show in October this year in the main gallery.
Mr Cotton continued: "The level of interest for Banksy is phenomenal. In an average week we will receive over 100 phone and email enquiries with specific questions about his work."
Banksy’s most expensive work to date, “Keep it Spotless”, sold for more than £1m at auction in New York in 2007. The artist’s works have fetched over £10m in total since 2003.
The “Banksy Bunker” is at Hang-Up Gallery, 56 Stoke Newington High Street, N16 7PB. Entry is free.
