Here's Lookin' At You, Kid

When on holiday in London, the average tourist will dream up a list of things to do, sights to see and places to visit. Theatre, shopping, museums and restaurants - London is famous for all of these. But what makes a trip to England's capital city just as memorable (and provides extra photo opportunities), are the people. More specifically, London's street performers.

A walk around town, whether it is to Covent Gardens, Trafalgar Square or Piccadilly Circus, just isn't complete without frequent stops to view the assortment of characters on show. Living statues, dynamic street dancers and out-of-this-world robots are just a handful of the wonderful, weird characters you might meet along your walkabout in the city, especially during the summertime.

Camera buffs and general visitors alike could easily spend an entire day or night in the city, enjoying the entertainment that these diverse and talented performers have to offer.

The Invisible Man

While waiting to catch a bus, we nearly bumped into the Invisible Man. People were lining up to get snapshots with him.

Is She Real?

Thankyou, Ma'am!

In other parts of the city, Victorian clad human statues can be found every few metres. They are most likely to reward you with a mechanical bow or curtsy if you're generous enough to drop a coin or two into their box.

Big Issue, Anyone?

Ooh...You Didn't Stop To Buy!

Even a magazine seller along the pavements of London, entertained onlookers with curious poses and comic facial expressions to tempt passers-by to buy his magazines.
