They are legal
"A) The legality of nitrous use on the road varies from country to country, even within the EU. However, contrary to what many people believe (including some police officers) nitrous oxide injection is legal for road use in the UK and many other countries (just as are turbo chargers and superchargers). According to the Ministry of Transport, the Highway Code and the MOT handbook there is no law prohibiting the use of nitrous injection. However just as with any tuning modification, the owner must inform their insurance company and obtain adequate cover otherwise any performance modification would be illegal. Therefore the only way you will break the law by having your street car fitted with a nitrous kit in the UK, is if you fail to inform your insurance company that you have one. Insuring a nitrous injected vehicle has become easier since WON joined forces with Adrian Flux to provide all their customers with a better chance of obtaining adequate insurance cover. Some other insurance companies such as Greenlight Insurance also offer cover for nitrous equipped cars.
There is a degree of confusion over the need to have a hazard warning sticker on the outside of the car. We previously explained that nitrous oxide is neither a flammable nor a hazardous gas but it is an oxidiser. There is a legal requirement for commercial vehicles to display a suitable sticker but this does not apply to private vehicles, which are not even obliged to display a green compressed gas sticker. However, displaying such a warning sticker might well be advantageous to you and the emergency services if you were to be involved in any kind of accident, as this would inform them that you were carrying a container of compressed oxidiser."

you can buy it on ebay, if it were illegal you can bet they wouldn't sell it for fear of being sued. In the UK possesion of nitrous for non-inhalant use is legal for those over 18. It is illegal to inhale nitrous oxide though this is rarely enforced and it is illegal to sell nitrous to those under 18. Nitrous charger sales over the internet make the age limits difficult to enforce.

The actual kit, and having the contraption installed is legal - but having the canister in you're car is not, due to its explosive nature.

Yes they are legal, but some police forces like you to tell them you have fitted one.

Sorry but they are not street legal in the UK due to its volatile nature and its unpredicability.
