No Trousers Tube Ride: On Sunday afternoon, Londoners were in for a surprise as hundreds of passengers abandoned their trousers and took a ride on the Underground to mark the annual 'No Trousers Tube Ride.' Dressed in suits and shirts but sporting nothing on their legs except underwear and shoes, participants embraced the event with enthusiasm. This quirky tradition, observed every January, brings fun, laughter, and a touch of confusion to the chilly winter days. The sole purpose of this celebration is to spread joy and embrace silliness.
At Waterloo Station, Londoners came together for the event, confidently strolling down escalators, capturing selfies on the platform, and striking poses inside trains while showcasing a vibrant mix of underwear styles.

The No Trousers Tube Ride began in New York in 2002 and has since spread to sixty cities around the world. It started with just seven people joining the New York Subway. By 2006, the event grew to 150 participants in New York City, though eight were arrested for misconduct.
No Trousers Tube Day started in New York in 2002, thanks to comedian Charlie Todd. The idea was simple and funny: what if people rode the subway in winter wearing all their clothes—except for their trousers? The quirky concept became popular and soon spread to other cities like Berlin, Prague, and Warsaw.
Social media is full of reactions to this quirky tradition. Let’s take a look at the comment section and see what people are saying. “Think there are other, less risque, ways of "presumably" raising money for charity,” a user wrote. “don't tell us this is why the tube staff are thinking of striking,” added a second user. “Silly little people trying to be controversial. Nope. Even for charity, who wants to see that?” a third user added.
