Busking = playing a musical instrument in public to earn money through donations. An honourable London tradition - especially if they play 'The Streets of London' very badly.

Busking has been illegal for a long, long time on the Tube, but in the last 18 months a licencing scheme has been set up giving people the right to play in designated pitches if they pass a quality test!
