Anyone who lives in the capital will know that it’s a notoriously rare occurrence for Londoners to engage with one another on their morning commute. But tube-goers will have been hard-pressed not to exchange some smiles with one another this week, when commuters were treated to a pretty unusual scene.
On Thursday morning, British champion skier and four-time Winter Oympian Chemmy Alcott was seen traversing the walkways of Waterloo Underground Station and the heights of TfL’s cable car, kitted-up in skis and full winter sports gear. The scenes marked the celebration of the inaugural London Snow Show, part of National Snow Week, taking place at the ExCeL from October 21 to 22.
