The annual No Trousers Tube Ride returns to the London Underground, and a large number of people are expected to participate.
The event first took place in London in 2009, inspired by the No Pants Subway Ride created by Improv Everywhere in New York in 2002.
In its years, the event grew seeing more and more take part and eventually move internationally.

When is the No Trousers Tube Ride?
The trouserless tube ride will take place at 3pm on Sunday, January 12.
Who can take part in the No Trousers Tube Ride?
There are no entry requirements to take part in the special tube ride, you just need to head to Old Pagoda in Chinatown to meet the event organisers at 2.45pm.
From there, organisers will take you to the nearby Tube stations but will not reveal the route.
You must also turn up to Chinatown fully clothed and then as you enter the Tube, organisers will tell you it’s time for the pants.
Participants should also note that they should avoid wearing thongs or small pants along with see-through garments to avoid offending other passengers.

What is the No Trousers Tube Ride event?
No Trousers Tube Ride sees Londoners take off their trousers and ride the tube wearing just their pants.
The idea behind the stunt is to act completely normal whilst being trouserless, with many reading a paper or avoiding eye contact with any other passenger, much like a normal tube journey.
