0 Street Entertainers in London!

Mime artists, jugglers, acrobats, ... all of them earn a living in the London streets by entertaining passers-by. These artists are also called Buskers in British English, especially those that sing in the street.

Here's a short little video about Busker's life. It's actually just a trailler of a documentary. If you want to look for more videos, try searching for "busker" or "street entertainers" on youtube.

I hope you enjoy it!
