For a few hours, the London Tube became a place of quiet absurdity rather than rush and rules, on Sunday, as London hosted the 2026 No Trousers Tube Ride. In central London, more than a hundred people boarded the Underground wearing coats, scarves and shoes, but no trousers. Most travelled in briefs or shorts, blending in at first glance before the joke became clear.
The gathering began near Chinatown in the early afternoon, with small groups hopping between Tube lines and drawing smiles, photos and puzzled looks from commuters.
