Pro Pianist sits down at a Public Piano

Henri Herbert, keyboard player with the Jim Jones Revue gives an impromptu performance on the concourse of St Pancras International station, London.

Note: in order to clear up some confusion expressed in the comments with regard to the sound on this clip, the stereo audio recording was made independently of the camera (which has poor sound) and later synched in post production. The 'percussion' sound that can be heard is not a hi-hat or a snare drum, it is possibly audio peaking, (unlikely), or something resonating inside the piano - most likely a broken string. The recorder was placed very close to the back of the instrument near the floor, and was therefore closer to the noise made by loose stuff rattling around inside. I only heard this on playback when I got home - didn't appear on the camera soundtrack.
