If banning alcohol on the underground is the worst legislation passed during Boris Johnson’s reign at City Hall, we should all be relieved. The appointment of Tim ‘Prince of Darkness’ Parker as the new boss of Transport For London does not bode well for the future of the tube network on the more serious issues of staffing and safety. But anyway, there’s a pre-drinking ban party being ‘organised’ (in a very loose sense of the word) for the last evening before the ban comes into force on the Circle Line. The event is reminiscent of the Circle Line parties ‘organised’ by legendary Anarchitect collective Space Hijackers during the early years of this decade and looks like it should be a lot of fun. Bring dinner jacket and Pimms!
