I agree, it’s not just the music itself, but the lack of consideration for others that is disturbing and demoralising. I suppose these things used to be “policed” by the public themselves and a general consensus about acceptable codes of conduct. Is there any way we can go back to that?
It's not just London - it's the whole of the public transport system. I was on a train recently where one man sulked his way out of one carriage because someone was playing music so loud that he couldn't hear his. Yeah? Guess how we felt , mate!
I realise that I'm just becoming grumpy old git, but it's basically selfishness / lack of thought for others. My particular bugbear - apart from speakerphones - is people not taking backpacks off, so not noticing when they knock people in the face.
(And a special mention for people who take up several seats on rush hour trains.)
I'm not sure what the solution is, but we need one.
I wear headphones to drown out the excruciating phone calls, loud conversations and whining kids so I am guilty of tuning out by their use. I wish I wouldn't have to.
This is a scourge on Melbourne's public transport too.
Solidarity!

They seem like nice boys.
