Graffiti at Kings Cross St Pancras

[Hadders]

Not seen it mentioned anywhere else, and not as bad as Oxford Circus a couple of years ago, but I passed through Kings Cross St Pancras yesterday afternoon and the Circle/Met/H&C platforms have suffered a graffiti attack.

Anyone know when this was done and when it will be painted over or removed? Have any other stations been hit?

It stuns me they've not got this 10 Foot bloke yet given the amount of crap he's daubed over London and the amount of money in clean ups he must have caused. Bonkers.

It also depresses me to see graffiti daubed up the front of St Pancras station by the road and both of the Euston lodges.

I have a strong suspicion that 10 foot is either the notorious Tox or is someone very close to him; last month I was in Paris and I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw, in one location, "Tox 2023" scrawled several times on a wall - and the 10 Foot" scrawl was immediately next to it at least twice. Both these vandals looked to have used identical spray cans...

If you Google the tags you'll find that both 'artists' have been named in the news as different people.

How was it possible to tag an underground station without being spotted, even when closed to the public?

Often entry is gained from a tunnel portal.

Often entry is gained from a tunnel portal.

Particularly during times when the lines are closed for Engineering works.

Didn't it recently happen over a Christmas holiday period. Same reason the vandals obtained access.

Yes, Christmas Day 2020.

Oxford Circus station graffiti

Saw this tonight on a NB Victoria Line train, my carriage stopped opposite the 'COVID LIES' tag. Since every LUL station has CCTV and (most) Zone 1 stations have a Station Supervisor overnight for contractor work, I'm baffled how they did it without being noticed...
