In pictures: someone's put mistletoe on the tube

Around this time of year, the tube is packed with anxious shoppers, enthusiastic tourists and begrudging commuters who forgot to save up any annual leave for Christmas. It's not exactly a hotspot for festive cheer, but someone's decided to try and change that by hanging mistletoe on the tube in a project called MistleTube. Unsurprisingly, Londoners don't know what to make of it – this guy looks both mesmerised and afraid:

Some people are just doing their best to ignore it:

And these guys look mainly pissed off:

It doesn't seem like the mistletoe has caused anyone to start snogging uncontrollably on the tube yet, but that could all change after a few festive bevs.
