No, they're not a legal requirement but your neck is very grateful if you keep them on.
I fitted drag bars and got a pair of barend convex mirrors. Fantastic view from them, no blindspot directly behind you (i can see the centre of the tailpiece on each of them!) and much smaller blind area to the offside.
Just one problem, too wide to fit in the shed door! So I kept the offside. You do miss the other one when pulling in after overtakes etc. I don't do much town riding/filtering so can't comment on that.
