A NEW suspected Banksy has appeared in the middle of London – but fans are baffled over its meaning.
The artwork, which is believed to be the latest hit by world-famous Banksy, popped up overnight in Edgware Road, near to Paddington Train Station.

The graffiti-style piece says “Another world is possible”.
The writing appears to be spray-painted by a factory machine which is being ripped away by three people – all of whom look to be different ages.
While many are speculating that it is Banksy, it has not been confirmed.
Banksy normally uploads pictures of his latest work – wherever that may be – to his Instagram account claiming it.
But he hasn’t done that with this piece.
One social media user said of the spectacular: “Humanity dragging AI away from helping itself!
“As usual, a current and very sobering issue by Banksy – if it is him.”
Another added: “Even if it isn’t Banksy, the work is amazing!
“Imagine cutting out that much detail. That’s just jaw dropping.”
It comes just days after it was revealed that the unknown artist could be rumbled.
The millionaire artist has kept his identity secret for years but a law suit caused by an Instagram post may be the unravelling of his mystery.
Banksy is being dragged to court over a now-deleted post where he encouraged shoplifters to target high street giant Guess.
The artist is being sued for almost £1.4million by Andrew Gallagher – who has made a business out of selling images of his work through his company Full Colour Black.
And should proceedings go ahead, Banksy could be unmasked as he’s called into the courtroom.
The claim says that Gallagher would be able to ask that the street artist appear in person in court.
In a since-deleted post allegedly made on November 18, Banksy’s Instagram account, which has 12 million followers, used an image of Guess’ shop window with the words: “Alerting all shoplifters. Please go to GUESS on Regent Street.
“They’ve helped themselves to my art without asking. How can it be wrong to do the same to their clothes.”
As graffiti can be considered criminal damage, initially it is thought the artist, whose work has been spotted around the UK and internationally, chose to remain anonymous to avoid a run-in with the law.
