      You can get away with it in London. Source: experience.

      You can cry on the tube and the bus, and the rule of “don’t make eye contact” means everyone just leaves you the heck alone and lets you get on with it it peace. I’ve twice cried while serving customers (after being bullied by a manager, two different jobs) and customers just try to get out of there. They might look at you a bit concerned but they mostly mind their own business.

        I have yet to muster up the courage to do that, i have recently cried at work, but managed to thankfully hide in a meeting room…

          Well, I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. I prefer to go somewhere private if I need a good cry, but when that’s not an option, if I gotta let it out, I’m gonna let it out. I care less about strangers seeing me cry than people I know.
