 
STRANGE BUT TRUE!
Some unknown strange facts about London.
1. If you find a Cab-driver in London not carrying a bale of hay
overboard, he is breaking the law.
All London taxis are "Hackney Carriages" registered and in the olden days this
means "Horse-drawn". Regulations stated that no horses should go hungry and
therefore insisted that all horse- drawn carriages that were registered as "Hackney
Carriage" (mainly Taxis) should carry a bale of hay. That rule has still not been
changed hence still applies. Fortunately it is not enforced.
2. Who says you cannot drive on the right hand side of the road
in London?
Well you can, but only in the Savoy Courtyard. It is a short street which leads to the
Savoy hotel entrance.
3. The Strand, London.
A very famous name. Most people know about the "Strand" in London.
Well we have got news for you. No such street exists in London.
4. Her Majesty the Queen.
Even though being the sovereign of The UNITED KINGDOM, Her Majesty the Queen is not
allowed to enter the City of London with seeking the permission of its Lord Mayor.
5. City of London.
The actual City of London is only 1 square mile. All other major road such as Oxford
Street, Piccadilly and Regent Street actually come under "The City of
Westminster"
