The glass-fronted box on Ludgate Hill, near The Old Bailey and St Paul's Cathedral, has been transformed to resemble an aquarium.

This marks his seventh new artwork to be revealed in the capital in as many days. Since Monday, stenciled silhouette images of a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans, and a cat have appeared in various locations across London.

This particular work differs from the previous ones unveiled this week by Banksy, as it is a detailed painting created with translucent spray paint.

Two City of London Police officers visited the sentry box and took pictures. One officer mentioned that the art was detected by CCTV cameras, prompting them to investigate. He added that they were waiting to hear what would be done about it.

The police stated they were aware of the criminal damage to the police box and were liaising with the City of London Corporation, which owns it.

The governing body of the City of London said: "We’re aware of the works on the City of London police box on Ludgate Hill. We are currently working through options to preserve the artwork."
