ª Since 1865, London taxi drivers have had to pass an incredibly tough course to be licensed. But the largest school passing on the “Knowledge” is closing. Drivers say they don’t fear Uber:
Since 1865, London taxi drivers have had to pass “the Knowledge of London,” a gruelling training course that requires knowing every street within a six-mile radius of Charing Cross, the junction that intersects Whitehall and the Strand in the centre of the city. When a passenger hails a taxi and gives a destination, the driver will know where it is and the best way to get there, all without consulting a map or satnav. In addition to road names and directions, the driver will be familiar with every major point of interest.f
