In order for cab drivers in London to obtain a licence, they should prepare for 34 months to complete and pass a test called “The Knowledge”.
“The Knowledge” is an analytical study of a number of pre-set London street routes and places of interest, which was initiated in 1865.
Applicants are expected to know over 25,000 roads and 50,000 points of interest to prove that they have a decent knowledge of the city!
