A video has been posted on Banksy's Instagram account apparently showing him producing his latest piece of artwork on a Hammersmith & City line train.
He is shown watching a video of the deep-cleaning that is currently being done on the Underground and then donning a hazmat suit and entering a station and boarding a train. He beckons to passengers to move down the carriage and then uses stencils to paint sneezing rats and rats parachuting using facemasks.
The street-artist, whose identity remains a closely guarded secret, had his face hidden by a mask and googles.
The video, titled ‘If You Don't Mask You Don't Get', ends with a frame of ‘I get lockdown' painted on a station wall which is replaced by ‘but I get up again' when the train doors close at which point the Chumbawumba song Tubthumping is played.
We have asked Transport for London for comment.
