Street musicians have historically enhanced the vibrant culture of Leicester Square in London's West End, where renowned artists like Rod Stewart busked. Recently, however, the Westminster City Council implemented a ban on street performances following complaints from Global, a local media company, which described the noise as overwhelming. A judge supported this decision, citing the psychological impact of repetitive sounds. Reactions to the ban have been mixed, with some expressing relief while others lament the loss of musical culture in a popular public space.
Street musicians have long provided the soundtrack for Leicester Square, but a recent ban has silenced their performances amid noise complaints from local businesses.
The Westminster City Council’s ban on street performances in Leicester Square arose after noise complaints from Global, a media company that took legal action.
