No Trousers Tube Ride, an annual event meant to cheer up the cloudy winter months, was held on Sunday by hundreds of riders in London without pants.
The London Underwater was only accessible to passengers who were wearing just underwear below the waist and ordinary winter clothing.
The celebration, which began in New York in 2002 and has since spread to places like Berlin, Prague, and Washington, DC, aims to introduce humour into open spaces. Organisers emphasized its cheerful character.
” There’s so much terrible, but little not excitement going on. It’s great to do something just for the sake of it”, said event planner Dave Selkirk, a 40-year-old personal coach.

Individuals in London gathered at Chinatown before heading to the Piccadilly Circus Underground train to board trains for the pleasure of spectators. Some travelers appeared baffled by the sight, while others exchanged smiles and took photographs with the trouser-less travellers.
The New York actor Charlie Todd’s prank for The No Trousers Tube Ride was its inspiration. Speaking to the BBC, Todd explained,” The goal of this function is to please other persons, to give people a joke. It’s not to be controversial, it’s not to offend people. Finally, the nature of that continues”.

Among them, attorney Basil Long donned bright green underwear and Underground-themed socks, explaining his inspiration:” I just saw it website and I really thought, why never”?
Not all jumped in just for enjoyment. Miriam Correa, a 43-year-old restaurant, wanted to make a statement about body enthusiasm. ” I am a true person. All systems are perfect”, she said, adding that past trips usually featured thin individuals, and she wanted to represent different body types.
