The statue apparently appeared overnight and immediately attracted attention. On Thursday, the world-famous and mysterious artist released a video showing how the work was erected.
In the morning, numerous people gathered at Waterloo Place to see the installation and take photos. Banksy had already caused a stir in London several times with spontaneous actions, most recently with street art on house walls.
