- [Narrator] Today, we're
in the heart of London
for free entertainment, fancy it?
Yes, stay with us, here we go.
Our first stop is Piccadilly Circus.
And as you can see, the circle represents
Eros in the middle, the statue.
And there, the arrows are
pointed to two separate places
where street entertainment can happen,
actually at the same time.
With many entertainment venues closed,
we wanted to bring to you
our three favorite places
in central London,
where you can get street
entertainment for free.
Obviously you can choose to
donate to each one of these,
if you feel like doing so.
♪ Holding me closer till our eyes meet ♪
Our first it right under the neon screens
at the Piccadilly Circus.
♪ Loving can heal ♪
The great thing about street
entertainment in London
is you never know what's
gonna be on when you turn up.
♪ And it's the only
thing that I know, know ♪
Whilst we've picked our top three places,
there are many others around London,
including many of the central
London underground stations
and other places as well,
that may be your favorite.
So if you've got a favorite,
drop it in the comments below.
♪ Your lipstick stains ♪
♪ On the front lobe of
my left side brains ♪
♪ I knew I wouldn't forget you ♪
♪ Then I went and let you go ♪
The great thing about all
of this street entertainment
is that they do it fantastic venues
where you can just take it
in and watch the world go by.
♪ The smell of you in every
single dream I dream ♪
♪ I knew when we collided ♪
♪ You're the one I have decided ♪
Only one minutes walk
from Piccadilly Circus,
here at Leicester Square
are another two venues
at the square where you can
see street entertainment.
("Gangnam Style")
As you can see with this one,
there's a few more people
gathered round to watch.
And check out the guy with the red hoodie.
Yes, he is with them, believe it or not.
♪ Oppan Gangnam style ♪
♪ Gangnam style ♪
♪ Op, op, op, op Oppan Gangnam style ♪

♪ Op, op, op, op Oppan Gangnam style ♪
♪ Eh Sexy Lady ♪
♪ Op, op ♪
For our third and final stop,
we go to Covent Garden, giving
you two different varieties
on street entertainment.
(relaxing music)
Here, we start in the South
Hall and down in the alcove,
down below, which you'll
see in just one second,
you'll often find in that
corner classical musicians.
Basking originally started in the UK
in about the mid 1800's.
And quite a few popular musicians
today started their musical careers,
playing their music to
people out on the streets.
The guy you can see in
the fluorescent jacket
on the right here is selling their CDs
and also collecting for them down below.
This is on the Piazza, at Covent Garden,
probably one of the most famous places
for street entertainment.
("Flight Of The Bumblebee")
Easy to find right
outside St. Paul's Church.
If you're in London,
and fancy a bit of street entertainment,
you never quite know
what you're gonna get,
but come down to any of these three places
and you're guaranteed to get some.
Just remember to bring a
little bit of spare change
to show your appreciation.
Another great venue and
another great place to come.
Right, I'm gonna put a
playlist here on the right.
So I'll see you in some of these videos
to get out and about in Central
London, see you in there.
