"There's no charity or political cause behind the event - it's purely for the sake of fun and giving other commuters a bit of a laugh. 'Fun lovers, exhibitionists, bucket list tickers, and inquisitive introverts alike' all gathered in Chinatown, bottoms still firmly on, before splitting off into smaller groups and heading into surrounding Underground stations, where they ditched the trousers. Then they filled tube carriages and just travelled around for a bit."
"Hundreds of bare-legged Londoners descended on the tube 'for the sake of fun' on Sunday afternoon Doesn't this cold, miserable weather make you just want to whip your trousers off and walk around London bare-legged? TBH, us neither. But that's what hundreds of folk did on Sunday (January 11) afternoon as part of the annual No Trousers Tube Ride. If you weren't in central London to see the bizarre spectacle (perhaps for the best), here's a glimpse at what you missed."
Hundreds of Londoners rode the Underground bare-legged on Sunday afternoon, January 11, 2026, during the annual No Trousers Tube Ride. Participants gathered in Chinatown with trousers on, then split into smaller groups, entered nearby stations and removed their trousers before boarding. The gathering included 'fun lovers, exhibitionists, bucket list tickers, and inquisitive introverts alike' and aimed to amuse other commuters rather than promote any charity or political cause. Groups filled tube carriages and traveled around the network for a short time. The event emphasized playfulness and spectacle, offering a lighthearted, non-political public stunt in central London.
