Art News: Banksy exhibition London 2026, what is open and what is official

The one Banksy exhibition in London we could confirm as open and bookable on 9 November 2026 is at Moco Museum, Marble Arch, where Banksy hangs alongside Warhol, Basquiat and Haring. Banksy Limitless in South Kensington is marked as finished on its own website, and we could not confirm a current run of The Art of Banksy. None of these is a show by Banksy: Pest Control, the artist's authentication office, says Banksy has no involvement with them. From 28 November 2026 you can also see a real Banksy free of charge, when London Museum opens at Smithfield with Piranhas among its displays.

Whitebank Fine Art, a London art advisory and gallery that sells Banksy prints, checked each venue's own website for this guide.

Banksy at Moco Museum London

Moco is an independent museum at Marble Arch. It shows Banksy within a display it calls Contemporary Masters, with Warhol, Basquiat and Haring as the other named artists. Its pages describe the Banksy works as authenticated. We have not seen a list of those works or their paperwork, so we cannot comment on individual pieces.

Tickets are timed and sold online, at prices that vary by age and availability, and the museum opens daily. The collection runs to more than 100 modern, contemporary and digital works, so expect Banksy to be one part of the visit.

Banksy Limitless in South Kensington

Banksy Limitless opened at 79-85 Old Brompton Road on 25 September 2025 and was later relaunched as Banksy Limitless: Reframed, with more than 30 additions including a Dismaland Gallery, a Grappling Hook sculpture and an Infinity Room. Its website described 250 artworks, from originals to large-scale installations, along with pieces reproduced specially for the show.

When we checked on 9 November 2026, that website marked the London run as finished, and its ticket seller, Fever, had no tickets available. Some visitor reviews on Tripadvisor complain about the quality of the reproductions.

The Art of Banksy in London

The Art of Banksy is a touring show drawn from private collections and billed as unauthorised. It opened in London in April 2024 with more than 150 pieces, ran at 100 Charing Cross Road until September 2024 and has since been listed at 50 Earlham Street in Covent Garden. The latest dated mention we found, from January 2026, places it there.

On 9 November 2026 the show's official website carried only an under construction notice. Some ticket pages still offer it and others list it as past or sold out, so we would wait for dates from the organiser before booking through a reseller.

Is there an official Banksy exhibition in London?

No. Pest Control's website says Banksy is "not involved or associated" with the exhibitions of the artist's work that open around the world. In a notice dated 22 October 2025 it said a new Banksy show in London was not a show by Banksy: the artist was not asked, did not contribute and will not be issuing refunds.

A private owner can lend a genuine print to an exhibition without asking the artist, so an unofficial show can still contain real works.

Banksy has made exhibitions, and two early ones were in London. Turf War, in a warehouse on Kingsland Road in July 2003, included live animals. Crude Oils, in Westbourne Grove in October 2005, hung reworked oil paintings in a room of live rats. Dismaland followed at Weston-super-Mare in 2015, and Cut & Run ran at Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art until 28 August 2023. We know of no show by Banksy in London at the time of writing.

Are the works in Banksy exhibitions real?

It depends on the show and on the work. Banksy Limitless said openly that it mixed originals with reproductions, so read each label, and ask what you are looking at if the label does not say.

The test for any Banksy is a Certificate of Authenticity from Pest Control, which issues them for paintings, prints and sculptures. An exhibition label, or a letter from a gallery, does not do the same job. Pest Control does not certify anything made illegally, so a section of wall on display in a show will have no certificate. How Banksy authentication works explains the process.

Where to see real Banksy works in London for free

London Museum opens in Smithfield's General Market on 28 November 2026, with free permanent galleries, and Visit London lists Piranhas among the things to see there. In August 2024 Banksy turned a City of London police box on Ludgate Hill into a tank of piranhas. The City of London Corporation later donated it to the museum.

Banksy's street works cost nothing to see, though they come and go. At last report the elephants in Chelsea, the pelicans on a Walthamstow fish bar and the rhino in Charlton were still on their walls, and two pieces of 2017 were behind perspex in the Beech Street tunnel at the Barbican. Banksy murals in 2026 goes through London and Bristol piece by piece, including the statue that appeared on Waterloo Place in April 2026.

Can you buy a Banksy at an exhibition?

Treat anything on sale at an unofficial show as a souvenir. Pest Control says Banksy has no licence agreements and makes merchandise only sporadically, for specific projects, so a poster or canvas from a show has no connection to the artist.

A genuine Banksy print comes with Pest Control paperwork and usually costs five figures. At one specialist UK saleroom's sales between December 2024 and October 2026, 59 of the 77 Banksy prints offered sold, at a median of £13,750 including buyer's premium. Our Banksy price guide sets those results out, and the Banksy price calculator gives a range for a named print.

How to buy a Banksy covers where real prints are sold and how to check one. Whitebank Fine Art lists the works it has available and finds particular images for buyers through its Banksy buying page.

If you own a Banksy print

For a figure on yours, send photographs of the front, the signature area if there is one, the back and any Pest Control paperwork.
