Londoners stripped off on Sunday for the return of the No Trousers Tube Ride.

The usually annual event hasen’t been held since 2020 due to the pandemic but on Sunday, the Londoners returned to mark its 10th anniversary in the capital.

Hordes of Londoners descended on Chinatown to begin the journey which was organised by The Stiff Upper Lip Society on Sunday afternoon, which also marked the inaugural trouser-less ride on the Elizabeth Line.

Hate to think what the Brits would do if we ever Americanised it to 'No Pants day'. A shame there isn't a underground station called The Full Moon.... ::)

Bare cheek of it! London's legendary No Trousers Day returns as tube riders strip to their pants on the underground in bizarre annual tradition

Londoners made themselves very comfortable on the Tube tonight as part of the annual No Trouser Tube Ride

Hundreds of half-naked revellers took part in the decades-long tradition

The event went ahead despite the threat of RMT tube strikes raining on celebrants' parades

Thank goodness they didn’t import the American title and call it “No Pants Day”.

Sounds uncomfortably cold to me, better done in the summer IMHO.

There is, however, a pub called The Full Moon on Stokes Croft in Bristol.  ;)

The Naked Bike Ride Bristol

Over 400 people set off from the Full Moon in Stokes Croft on the naked bike ride in Bristol. Travelling over 4 miles around Bristol, the riders came back into Stokes Croft in a variety of vehicles and different variants of birthday suits.
