The 36-year-old businessman mingled with commuters and tourists as he took the Central Line on Friday afternoon.
Dewani appeared to be returning from a workout session as he clutched a gym bag and wore trainers and a tracksuit.
One commuter said: “When a lady got off, he sat in her seat and just looked nervous.
“He didn’t make eye contact with anyone at all and just looked up at the adverts for the whole journey.

“He didn’t seem at ease and just looked up with his bag on his lap.
“He had big bags under his eyes and looked exhausted.”
Mr Dewani was accused of hiring hitmen to stake an ambush and shoot dead his 28-year-old bride Anni on their honeymoon to South Africa in 2010.
Three men, Zola Tongo, Mziwamadoda Qwabe and Xolile Mngeni, were jailed for their role in the killing.

Mngeni has since died in prison from a brain tumour.
They claimed Mr Dewani arranged a car-jacking in which he would survive and his wife die.
However, a judge in South Africa threw out the case against him because it was “riddled with inconsistencies” and the evidence of the three men flawed.
Mr Dewani, whose Bristol-based family run a care home business, was acquitted in December 2014 and a coroner ruled in October there would be no inquest.
