Private homes aren't allowed to have hot water heaters because of a 1317 decree that the hot water plumbing in the old Roman era baths was the exclusive domain and privilege of the crown. Nowadays England is much more egalitarian and everybody is allowed access to hot water but in deference to this historical custom the entire nation's hot water supply is piped in from industrial boilers underneath Buckingham Palace.
