22 Banksy Works Still Surviving in London in 2026: A Guide
GraffitiStreet has published an updated guide mapping 22 credible Banksy works that still survive across London as of July 2026. The artist has created over 50 stencils, murals, installations, and sculptural interventions in the capital over more than 25 years, but most have disappeared due to council overpainting, theft, vandalism, or removal. The guide includes works in various conditions, from confirmed and protected pieces to faded remnants. Notable entries include the flag-blinded statue on Waterloo Place in St James's, confirmed by Banksy on Instagram after appearing on 29 April 2026; the Royal Courts of Justice protester mural from September 2025, now reduced to a ghostly trace after removal attempts; and the two stargazing children murals at Centre Point and Queen's Mews, addressing youth homelessness. Other works include the Extinction Rebellion mural at Marble Arch from 2019, the 'Elephants' from the 2024 animal series, the Hornsey Road tree mural, and the 2003 royal family mural in Stoke Newington. The guide emphasizes the ephemeral nature of street art and documents the ongoing preservation efforts and challenges.
