— -- Saturday night marked the last night of drunken revelry for Londoners used to drinking on the city's underground subway system, know as the "tube," on their way to and from parties.

A ban on drinking alcohol for passengers aboard London's underground public transport system went into effect June 1.

To mark their last hurrah on the tube, thousands of revellers turned up to party underground on Saturday night.
