Street artist Banksy has confirmed he is behind a new mural that has appeared on a building in Bayswater.
The public artwork depicts two children clad in warm layers and hats, lying on the ground and pointing up at the sky.
It has been painted on to a wall above a row of garages on Queen's Mews and appears to have been first spotted on Monday.
The artist confirmed the mural was his after posting images of it on his Instagram page.
It comes amid speculation another identical work that appeared in central London recently is also his.
The artwork was spotted by the Centre Point building at the intersection of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street.
It’s believed the Tottenham Court Road version popped up first, but Bansky has yet to take credit for the work. The BBC reported that is also believed to be the from the artist.
Fans earlier took to the internet to speculate the works were by the world-famous artist.
The confirmed Banksy mural is the latest in a series of pieces frm the street artist that have popped up around the city throughout the year.
In September, a new mural appeared at the Royal Courts of Justice depicting a protester being beaten by a judge, in full traditional wig and robe, holding a gavel. Blood spatters can be seen hitting the placard.
The mural was later removed from the listed building, but its eery shadow remained.
In 2024, a series of animal murals popped up over the city - from a gorilla on the shutters at London Zoo, to a Goat on a ledge in Richmond.
The Royal Borough of Chelsea had a pair of elephants touching trunks through blocked out windows.
On Shoreditch High Street, three monkeys appeared on the train overpass.
Headlines were made when a wolf howling at the moon was painted on a satellite dish in Peckham, south London and controversially, the satellite was later stolen.
Banksy’s press team announced the item was lifted and more than a year on, the thief has not been caught.
The politically charged anonymous artist has always used grafitti as a means by which to send a powerful message. If this new piece is indeed a Banksy - what message is it trying to send?
The Banksy press team has been contacted for comment.
