Banksy hits the London Underground. 14 July 2020

The video of the hit was posted on Banksy’s Instagram on 14 July with the title “London Underground – undergoes deep clean”. It depicts Banksy entering an underground train carriage while dressed as a member of the cleanup crew. Banksy paints a rat sneezing while the other rats struggle to put on their masks. At the end of the clip, we see the words “I get lockdown, but I get up again” spray-painted on the carriage doors, a reference to Chumbawamba’s hit Tubthumping from 1997.

“Transport for London confirmed on Tuesday evening that the work was removed “some days ago” due to strict anti-graffiti policy, but that it would welcome Banksy to recreate his message “in a suitable location”.
