There was an unlicenced busker at St Paul's a few days ago who
nearly poked my eye out with the bow of her violin. She was
standing right at the bottom of the escalators and her bow was
poking into the escalator on the left at about eye level for a
tall person. I passed through today and she was still there, but
at least she had moved from the eye poking position.

So did you ask the station staff to boot her out? There were 2
guys playing guitars there a couple of days ago.

No, she was at the bottom, they were at the top (of the escalators) and
she would have been very clearly audible to them, perhaps even visible
too. I thought that if they hadn't bothered to get rid of her already
then me saying something probably wouldn't change matters.
