A Yahoo News video feature revisits London’s legendary Knowledge of London test — the marathon street-and-landmark exam that still stands between would-be black-cab drivers and a TfL badge.
The Knowledge requires candidates to memorise thousands of streets and points of interest across the capital, typically over years of scooter “runs,” before appearing for oral “appearances.” Coverage frames it as one of the toughest urban taxi quals still in force even as apps and AVs reshape the trade. Treat this rewrite as a pointer to the video explainer rather than a new policy change.
