No trousers day on the London Underground

The No Pants Subway Ride is an annual global event started by Improv Everywhere in New York in 2002. For a history, see: http://improveverywhere.com/missions/the-no-pants-subway-ride/

Last year, over 300 Londoners took part. The 6th annual No Trousers Tube Ride in London will take place on Sunday 11th January 2015.

At 3PM, participants will be organised into groups, and will walk to a nearby station.

When told to, remove your trousers, and put them into your backpack. If you’d like to use a briefcase, purse, grocery bag, or whatever instead of a backpack that’s fine too. If anyone asks you why you’ve removed your trousers, tell them that they were 'getting uncomfortable' (or something along those lines).

If questioned, you do not know any of the other trouserless riders. Tell folks that you 'forgot to wear trousers' and yes, you are 'a little cold.' Insist that it is a coincidence that others also forgot their trousers. Be nice and friendly and normal.

For the remainder of the journey, sit in the car as you normally would. Read a magazine or whatever you would normally do.

Afterwards (once we've put our trousers back on), we'll head to the Round Table pub in nearby Leicester Square for drinks.
