FAQs AND COMMENTS:
'Is this legal?'
Yes, it is. 'The Sexual Offences Act 2003' applies only to aggressive genital exposure with intent to shock those who do not want to see the genitals'. We want this event to be fun and safe for everyone, for many more years to come, so anybody found to be removing more than their trousers, or acting out personal fantasies in public, will be reported to the British Transport Police, and station authorities.
'So I can wear a skirt instead?', or, 'Hey, no problem, I was gonna wear a dress anyways!' You’re very clever, but you’re missing the point, in trying to be too clever. This is for the fun of it, and articles of clothing like skirts, shorts, kilts, and dresses don’t count, because people are encouraged to revel in the absence of trousers, and not replace trousers with other clothing. The point is to relax and enjoy the humor inherent in people not wearing trousers. UPDATE: Please don't wear anything overly close-fitting (so no thongs, banana hammocks or mankinis), nothing see-through, nor so flimsy one is falling out of it, or kilts without anything underneath. We don't want people to be disgusted, I (Farhan) personally do not wish to be arrested, and we want to stage this event for decades yet.
'Won't you be cold?', or, 'It'll be freezing outside!'
The trouserless part of the event is all underground, and it is warm down there. The only chance you'll have to be cold is when we meet up at Trafalgar Square at the beginning, any surfacings Troop Leaders select, and when we walk to the pub at the end.
'I am not going to be in London on that date'
Since New York kicked off the event in 2002, dozens of other cities the World over have joined in (some on trams/light rail/buses/etc.), most city rides starting by people organising their own event in their own locale, and Improv. Everywhere maintain a list of known rides internationally (their 2018 list gives some idea)...

'I'm a professional blogger/journalist/photographer/video person and I'd really like to take pictures/video/interviews from the event?'
Do please feel free to contact the organising Stiff Upper Lip Society https://www.facebook.com/TheStiffUpperLipSociety/
, or me personally https://www.facebook.com/TheBeardofBeards.
Merely a formality, just so that we are aware who you are, and those wishing to cover the No Trousers Tube Ride 2019 can be assigned designated Troops. Every year riders take pictures in trains, we would not stop that, but please be discreet, no photoshoots, nor floorshows, please people? so that we do not put fellow passengers off, nor attract their complaints about any of us.
This is a great event, every year, and one that attracts regulars, recommended folk, and complete first-timers all united in the spirit of having a top time, making new friends, and adding an unforgettable memory to yours.
Venue
London, In front of the National Gallery (not in Trafalgar Square), WC2N 5DN London
