Lisson Gallery in London – which has exhibited some of Ms Cunningham’s art – had earlier published a public appeal to encourage people to look out for Ms Cunningham.

Jamie Klingler, co-founder of the Reclaim These Streets campaign to prevent violence against women and girls, had also shared appeals to find her.

She added the last sighting of Ms Cunningham was of her getting into a dark Vauxhall, heading to Islington, with an unidentified male.

But it’s understood this sighting was investigated by police, who concluded it was not Ms Cunningham.
