Bunga Bunga's now famous Italian flag stripes will be whitewashed after the Euro celebrations came to an end. 

The Italian bar and restaurant in Battersea came under fire earlier this year after it repainted the facade in red, green and white, with some considering it out of keeping with the surrounding area.

June 6: Bunga Bunga bar in Battersea ordered to repaint Italian flag stripes in celebration of Euro 2016

Owners Charlie Gilkes and Duncan Stirling were given a 28 day notice to paint it back, but were then allowed to keep the colours until the end of the Euro 2016 tournament.

Mr Gilkes and Mr Stirling started the work on July 29, donning berets and overalls before climbing the scaffolding to whitewash the stripes. 

The pair said they were grateful to Wandsworth Council for letting them keep the stripes until the end of July.
