Not going to be possible, I'll tell you that now. There are literally thousands, and many laws aren't even written down, but have come about through common law.

There's loads of really old ones.
Really weird ones.
What sort of laws do you want?
I don't want togive you loads of irrelevant ones.
Google probably is best at the end of the day...

I know there is one where you can't die in the houses of Parliament, that is written anywhere though.

Yeah and there's one where you can shoot a scotsman with a bow and arrow within the walls of York.
There's so many odd ones like that, that have never officially been abolished..
