London 26th May 2026. An outer-London Express SL4 transit sign is placed satirically at the foot of the new central London Banksy sculpture in Waterloo Place. The artwork, installed in late April, depicts a suited figure blindly stepping off a stone plinth while obscured by a billowing flag. The temporary intervention juxtaposes modern suburban transit infrastructure against Westminster's historic military and imperial monuments. Credit:xiu bao/Alamy Live News
