Lifestyle: This London Underground busker makes more money working two hours a day than he did in his full-time office job

He says the ultimate spot is Tottenham Court Road where you can make an average of £100 to £120 every two hours.

Harry Pane is a busker on the London Underground, who can make up to £60 an hour depending on the spot he chooses.

We met him at Liverpool Street station to learn more about his profession.

"I used to have a full-time job in an office – nine hours a day and for not very much money after tax," he told Business Insider UK.

"I discovered I could earn more in two hours than working in the office all day. Busking gives me a chance to be creative as well."

Harry is a singer-songwriter who performs cover songs as well as his own original material.

Together with the type of music, there's also another variable to be taken into account when busking: the station.

Perhaps stating the obvious, the best spots often coincide with touristy areas – places like Leicester Square or Piccadilly Circus – rather than the busy stations in the Square Mile.

"The ultimate one is Tottenham Court Road," said Harry. "There I can make an average of £100 to £120 every two hours."

All buskers on the London Underground are licensed by TfL. The licensing process is very competitive and it includes actual on-stage auditions.

Busking spots at various stations can then be booked through an online system which works on a first-come-first-served basis. Each performance lasts two hours.

You can follow Harry Pane on Spotify and on his website.
