I used public transport every day last week, on the Jubilee & Central lines I didn’t see anyone without a mask. Trains were comfortable with good spacing out of people. Journeys were Stratford to Green Park 9am, Bond St to Leyton 4pm.
Train from Stratford to Chelmsford was the same, everyone masked up, coming home the same, even the school kids were about 80% masked. Same journey times.
I’ve heard not so good reports about rush hour but that’s just anecdotal.

Where as I walked into town yesterday to go to supermarket. What's the point in having limited numbers and masks in shops, if when outside in the town centre its packed like sardines and no one wearing a mask.
Coming back from.spain I find it baffling, like no one knows someone who's died of covid or has such a short term memory. People really are daft.

Took the Overground last weekend for the first time in forever, Sunday late night most people not masked but lots of space and Overground always feels pretty well ventilated.
A friend who has been taking the Victoria line across London in rush hour reported the first instance of 'full trains' a few days ago - all seats full plus standing (not full in the pre-covid sense!).

Hopefully your experience is the norm!
Herne hill to Blackfriars to Finsbury Park around 10am. Return around 5, which is when we saw the party barge. Even some station staff didn’t have a mask on (Herne hill) or kept pulling it down around their chin when talking to people (Blackfriars).
Took an overground train across London yesterday, with a transfer at Blackfriars. I counted 20 people not wearing masks, and then I stopped for my own peace of mind. This doesn’t include a posh party/dinner boat packed with mask-less guests, maybe 50 people, mostly standing close together.
Theres little point stressing about other people now, I’m just focusing on doing my rational best to keep myself and my loved ones safe while getting back out there and living life.
