You have the right to pray anytime and place you want as long as you do it with discretion and quiet. No one even has to know that you are saying a prayer if you say it silently to yourself. As a courtesy to others, I think it would be best not to perform some prayer ceremony such as kneeling on the floor, or chanting out loud. Drawing attention to yourself in such a manner might only serve to distract you from your real purpose. Pray - absolutely. But legal or not, I would only ask that you consider others who occupy the same public space with you.
