Spy Booth is an artwork by Banksy in Cheltenham, England.[1] The piece has been seen as a critque of the Global surveillance disclosures of 2013.[2]

Recently Robin Barton and Bankrobber London have helped with the preservation of Banksy's Spy Booth in Cheltenham [3] as well as attempting to broker the removal and sale of the piece. However the artwork was painted onto a Grade II listed building - 153-159 Fairview Road and the council prevented it from being removed. The work has now been given listed building consent and so afforded some protection from removal.

The GCHQ started to use the picture on its website as a symbolic image for its "what we do" page.[4]
