This is Swedish jazz singer Cecilia Stalin and band performing a free lunchtime concert in front of a good-sized audience at The Royal Festival Hall's Clore Ballroom. It's the large basin area in the main hall. Most of the audience were well behaved and stayed in their seats, but a small number spent the concert running around in circles, falling down and embarking on sporadic attempts to climb onto the stage, such as the troublemaker seen being restrained in the bottom photo. The parents involved spent most of their lunchtime rounding up their small children. They'd return to their tables with one little fellow only to see another couple set off for glory in his place. I don't know if the musicians, or other audience members, found it distracting. Personally I found it hugely entertaining.
