Okay, this law doesn’t exist anymore but it’s definitely still worth mentioning. According to the 1831 London Hackney Carriage Act, horse drawn taxi drivers weren’t allowed to feed their horses except for out of bags of corn or by giving them hay from their hands.

Many people also claim that these taxi drivers also had to carry at least one bale of hay in their carriages, but it’s unclear if that was actually a law or just an urban myth. Either way, this particular law was repealed in 1976, so taxi drivers are now definitely free to drive around London without any hay in their cars.
