Circle Line Parties
Circle-line parties have gained in popularity in the 21st century, similar to subway parties in the United States. These involve large groups of people boarding a train and holding an impromptu party in the carriages, often dressing in costume.
A high-profile Circle-line party took place on 31 May 2008 to celebrate the last night of legal alcohol drinking on public transport in London. Thousands of people attended and 17 were arrested by police due to disorderly behaviour, eventually causing the entire line to be suspended for the rest of the night.
