Passengers might now be barred from having open containers of alcohol on the Underground, London buses, Docklands Light Railway and trams… but it was a bloody good night!

The alcohol ban on London’s transport system has started, after a night of partying on the Underground during which 17 people were arrested and six stations had to be closed as thousands of people gathered on the network in advance of the ban.

Despite the negative press the event has been getting, my experience was really positive. It’s not often that so many people from so many cultures can come together and enjoy a night out. Easily one of the most interesting and heart warming nights i’ve had since I moved here. Community spirit is still alive in England, you just have to ban something
