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"

That's all Folks. If we discover more, We sure will publish it on this page!!!!
