Could anyone please tell me what the style of hat is that Tom Hardy wears in Taboo? Many thanks.

Many thanks for that. So it doesn't have an actual style name - it's a one-off.

It looks like a variation of a top hat...quite common in the 19th century.

I thought it was a stovepipe

I think top hats and stovepipe are similar...

I think they are pasta just worn by different classes of men perhaps?

Possibly...
This is where I go off googling, and get lost in the idiosyncrasies of 19th c dress....;-0

From this 1830's page it looks like Tom Hardy is wearing either a Turf style hat. http://www.blacktieguide.com/Vintage/Outerwear/1830_whole_art_of_dress_hats_2_edit2.jpg

Could also be "the Raven" style from this later advert: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3DS9J4LR1XU/VwNbRQWRs5I/AAAAAAAAG60/x9CSE07ez1wLQTiAP0zZrogtbosX9KCLQ/s1600/1879%2Bfashions.124%2Bhats5.jpg
