Pay a visit to London and a black cab will probably be one the
first things you will see. The London taxi drivers are almost as
famous as the black cabs in which they drive, this is mainly due to
their in-depth knowledge of London and ability in taking their
occupants to their desired destination amid the congestion and the
chaos that you often find when travelling through London's streets.
London taxi drivers go through stringent training to obtain their
licence, they need to pass 'The Knowledge', a test which is amongst
the hardest to pass in the world, and has been described as 'like
having an atlas of London implanted into your brain'. The test
requires you to master no fewer than 320 basic routes, all of the
40,000 streets that are scattered within the basic routes and
approximately 20,000 landmarks and places of public interest that
are located within a six-mile radius of Charing Cross. This book
breaks the test down into a series of head-scratching questions and
features enough trivia about the capital to surprise even born and
bred Londoners. It's the perfect gift for anyone who thinks they
know London inside-out, or wants to learn more!
