The history of street performers in Covent Garden goes back to the 1600's. It is now one of the most prized spots in the world to perform. To get a spot on this patch you must pass an audition, pay a heft licence fee and be good at pulling the crowds in. Your time slot is generally only 40 minutes.

Getting ready. Thanks for the info.
I love this shot! I also love this area. It's so full of life!
Wonderful capture.
Are they given much in the way of money? I see there is 20% off JOY!!!
What a fascinating post! I didn't know they auditioned, paid, were limited to 40 minutes or that they'd been around since the 17th century!!!
