Pregnant woman and woman knitting, Victoria line, London, 16th July 2013

The morning rush hour didn’t mean manners were forgotten, a pregnant woman was offered seats by several people, including myself. I do hear sad stories about heavily-pregnant women being left to stand on hot and long tube journeys, but not this time. London IS a friendly city! I sketched this scene quickly before my view was obscured by passengers standing in front of me in the aisle.
