FlashMob - Liverpool St - 10th October 2006

IT LOOKED like any other evening at Liverpool Street station, with thousands of commuters jostling to get home.

But at 7.22pm, the station's concourse was turned into a dance floor by a flash mob of more than 200 people. The group of strangers, who had been mingling with commuters, suddenly burst into dance, to the bewilderment of onlookers.

The participants, who had responded to an email telling them to arrive at the station with personal stereos, whooped and hollered as if perfectly in time with each other. They danced wildly, emitting cheers every so often.

Commuters gathered on the side to watch in amusement. Some even joined in without music of their own. The event is the latest in the flash mob craze, which emerged in London for the first time two years ago. Other events have included a pillow fight of more than 100 strangers outside St Paul's Cathedral and a mass siege of a furniture store in Tottenham Court Road.

Last night's event was linked to another flash mob in Madrid, where a crowd met at the same time for a pillow fight.
