I know that a US citizen could potentially remain in the UK for up to 6 months on travel. However, I'm also sure that this wouldn't allow them to work while here. If someone were to be visiting the UK for this long, are there legal ways to earn an income while in the UK for 6 months of travel?

Depending on your nationality you can apply for a Tier 5 (Youth Mobility Scheme) visa:
- want to live and work in the UK for up to 2 years
