At which Brighton pub was Banksy's Kissing Coppers mural originally painted?

Banksy’s Kissing Coppers mural was originally painted on the exterior wall of Brighton’s Prince Albert pub.

The image shows two British police officers kissing, turning a familiar symbol of authority into a playful comment on sexuality, policing, and public space. Banksy created the work in 2004, and it quickly became one of Brighton’s best-known pieces of street art.

The mural was exposed to weather, vandalism, and repeated attempts at preservation. Parts of the original wall were eventually removed, and the artwork was sold after being transferred to a new support. It has therefore been seen both as a street mural and as a portable Banksy artwork.

The pub’s name is an important detail because the mural is often loosely described as a Brighton street painting. That wording can obscure its original setting: the exterior of the Prince Albert, a live-music venue near Brighton railway station.
