"The last time a new work by the ever mysterious Banksy appeared in London, it was covered up and taken down in a matter of hours. The piece at the Royal Courts of Justice appeared to show a judge striking a protester with a gavel, but HM Courts and Tribunals very swiftly removed it to preserve the 'historical character' of character of the building. But it's never too long before a another Banksy pops up elsewhere in the city."
"Just over three months later, the street artist has revealed a brand new mural. The latest artwork appeared in west London yesterday (December 23), confirmed on the street artist's official Instagram. It depicts two children wrapped up in coats, wooly hats and wellies lying down and looking at the sky, with one pointing upwards. Shortly after, the very same image popped up on a wall in central London, but the artist is yet to claim ownership of that one."
"Banksy's latest mural is above a row of garages in Queen's Mews in Bayswater. The identical piece appeared outside Centre Point tower near Tottenham Court Road, but as we said, it's not been confirmed as a genuine Banksy yet. As always with Banksy, the meaning of the mural remains up for interpretation. There's speculation that it could be a comment on child homelessness."

The work shows two children wrapped in coats, wooly hats and wellies, lying down and looking at the sky, with one child pointing upward. An identical image surfaced outside Centre Point near Tottenham Court Road but remains unclaimed. The meaning of the image is open to interpretation, with speculation that it comments on child homelessness. The Bayswater mural remains visible and has not been removed or relocated as of the latest reports. Earlier Banksy works continue to be exhibited in London museums.
