I've done many a daft thing in the name of journalism, and so presumed striking up random conversations with strangers on the tube wouldn't be too taxing.
Inspired by John Bishop's loneliness-combatting 'Say Hello' campaign, I headed down into the London Underground for an afternoon to see what would happen if I put away my phone and simply asked people about their day.
To be clear, I'm from up North and was just stopping in the capital for a few days for work. For me, riding the tube makes for an exciting novelty rather than a dull everyday experience.
