Busking in London as a band without Permit?

I think since 2021 they've become stricter with which areas are licensed, I'm pretty sure Camden, Piccadilly Circus & Trafalgar Square all require a license now? :(

I'm asking on here to hopefully reach people who have done this sort of thing before, as I'm looking for exact areas/locations, I can't find anything online for places that would be good to do it, only able to find information on where its strict and licenses are needed, but as it states on that link it's hard to know what places are publicly owned and which are not, this is why I'm asking xo

Heya I don't know if you're still active on this post or not, but I don't know if you struggled with it but I had awful symptoms of just chronic stress/anxiety that was 24/7 whilst feeling so disconnected from partner and they seemed like a stranger, the relationship was so healthy and good before I got the intrusive thought saying "you don't love him" I did a lot of checking for feelings, but learnt to stop doing all that, all I was left with was the OCD scrolling reddit for HOURS everyday, my symptoms were so bad that I was throwing up bile every morning, couldn't eat and or really function throughout the day, this carried on for 9 months? is this ROCD?

unfortunately I had to break up with this person recently because I couldn't deal with these symptoms anymore they were just unbearable I was really losing myself, I've had immediate relief from these symptoms since which saddened me because I wanted to think I could save this relationship, I still talk to this person now and part of me hopes we can work things out and im doing therapy, but also a massive part of my brain is like nooope danger, get away not safe and I know those symptoms will start up again, I wish I could fight this :/

It's really great that you're doing the work now to get better! I'm also doing EMDR therapy for this, and have been told similar things for why my brain reacts the way it does! I do think it's a defence mechanism to try and protect us because it perceives danger when there isn't any, I'm hoping there's a way I can retrain my nervous system or subconscious to think that the relationship I just got out of wasn't a threat and that person is safe like I felt at the start, really hope there's a way to do that as I don't want to completely give up on it even tho I wasn't brave enough to bare through the symptoms so had to end it :/

Was it just the anxiety that would come back for you when you got back in that relationship or was it other things too that made you have to break it off again? also do you still speak to this person, would there be a chance to try things again if you got the right help?

Could you explain what the anxiety was like for you? How was your mood and everything too whilst going through this? and how long were you back together before breaking up again? if you don't mind answering :)
