Busking is NOT against the law: however there is plenty of law that the authorities can use against you if they decide that you are a problem
Causing an obstruction, or behaving in an abusive or threatening manner towards members of the public can of course get you into trouble with the police.
In addition, according to Bath and North East Somerset council:-
Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 noise in the street from musical instruments may be a statutory nuisance and the Local Authority is able to take legal action to abate the nuisance on prohibit or restrict its recurrence; this may include the seizure of musical instruments and amplification equipment.
However, if you stick to the council's Code of Practice you probably won't run into any trouble.
