A letter to "The Times" in 1844 warned travellers that Blackwall Railway's porters had charged a 1d to carry a hat box onto the train and a further 6d for transporting it to the London terminus, with the traveller himself paying only 4d for the journey.

Top Hat (Carroll Clark and Van Nest Polglase), Original Song (Irving Berlin for "Cheek to Cheek"), and Dance Direction (Hermes Pan for "Piccolino" and "Top Hat"). In 1990, "Top Hat" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film ranked number 15 on the 2006 American Film Institute's list of best musicals. "Top Hat" has been nostalgically referenced — particularly its "Cheek to Cheek" segment — in many films, including "The Purple Rose of Cairo" (1985), "The English Patient" (1996), "The Green Mile" (1999),"La La Land"
