Notice the difference – and get goosebumps: no trouser tube ride back

The annual no trouser tube ride has been held in the capital despite falling temperatures.

Trouserless passengers were seen across the London Underground network, including Westminster, Waterloo and South Kensington.

Launched in January 2002 with just seven people in New York, it has spread around the world with dozens of people attending this year’s event in London.

Producer Charlie Todd told the BBC: “The whole point is just to create unexpected moments of joy, happiness and confusion.”

“I’m very happy to see the tradition alive,” he said. “It’s for a little harmless fun.

“Certainly, we live in an environment where people love to fight culture wars and my rule in New York was always that my goal is to entertain other people, to make people laugh.

“It’s not meant to be provocative or upset anyone, so hopefully that spirit will continue.”
