LONDON -- The temperature might have dropped but it didn't stop Londoners from supporting the seventh annual no pants day -- or no trousers day as it's known on this side of the pond.

The No Pants Subway Ride began in the U.S. in 2002 started by Improv Everywhere -- a group that celebrates silliness in public places.

People dressed appropriately above the waist for the event on the London Underground, which happened Sunday, but didn't pay any bother about frostbite below as they bared all, according to the Mirror.

The global movement encourages commuters in New York, Berlin and Prague to board different train carriages and behave just like normal train passengers, minus their pants.

To those unaware of the "celebration of silliness,"  the day ended up being filled with a lot of laughter and secret giggles as the participants acted as normal as possible, travelling around London with no trousers on.
