TfL have announced that they have successfully prosecuted 21 private
hire drivers for not accepting assistance dogs between February 2015
and May 2017. One driver was ordered to pay £1,488 after trying to
charge
extra for carrying an assistance dog.

Whilst my natural reaction to this is "good", it does raise the
question of whether assistance dogs are special

They are undoubtedly very well trained to behave in public.

and whether private hire drivers are allowed to refuse passengers
(irrespective of number of legs) for any reason and if so what?

"No Blacks, Irish or dogs".
