The image shows people queuing to get a ticket for a ferris wheel which resembles the London Eye but with the passenger cars transformed into crowns, one of Basquiat's trademarks.
The other mural depicts police officers doing what it seems to be a "stop and search" to a boy which bears a striking resemblance to what is arguably Basquiat's most iconic artwork "Boy and dog in a Johnnypump" while the dog waits behind.

"Portrait of Basquiat being welcomed by the Metropolitan Police -- an (unofficial) collaboration with the new Basquiat show," reads Banksy's comment on Instagram.
