In September 2009, a Banksy work parodying the Royal Family was partially destroyed by Hackney Council after they served an enforcement notice for graffiti removal to the former address of the property owner.

In December 2009, Banksy marked the end of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference by painting four murals on global warming.
One included the phrase, "I don't believe in global warming;" the words were submerged in water.

A feud and graffiti war between Banksy and King Robbo broke out when Banksy allegedly painted over one of Robbo's tags.
