London Tube network posts messages of defiance in wake of Westminster terror attack

Many of the signs being shared are fake, but real quotes and messages are being shared all around the Underground network

Defiant and powerful tube signs are being posted across the London tube network.

In the wake of Westminster attack that left four dead and injured many more, Underground stations are welcoming travellers with messages of strength, togetherness and solidarity.

Many of the signs circulating on social media aren't in fact real – instead generated through an online app – and perhaps the most famous one with references to drinking tea was fake. But real signs are being shared that reflect many of the same sentiments.

Tower Hill, Oval, Clapham and Tooting Bec's signs have all been shared thousands of times. Some are even posting signs and artwork that was already on the Tube network – but has acquired new significance in the wake of the attacks.

Some users are pointing out that signs installed as part of the London is Open campaign in 2016 – which aimed to show how the city has welcomed people from across the world – were even more powerful the day after the attack.

The posts were shared by defiant commuters who have been heading back to work just hours after the attacks, which took place near the Westminster Tube station.
