The left turn in to Churchway and the flower show in the same week. What timing!

London's black cab drivers are required to pass one of the most demanding qualification tests in the world, known as The Knowledge, which has changed little since its introduction in 1865.
The test requires candidates to memorise 320 standard routes through central London, covering some 25,000 streets within a six-mile radius of Charing Cross, along with thousands of points of interest within half a mile of each route.
During training, would-be drivers, known as Knowledge boys and girls, typically follow the routes on a motor scooter with a clipboard fixed to the handlebars, displaying the streets to be learned that day.
At the examination, candidates must identify two points of interest chosen by their examiner, then recite the shortest route between them from memory, naming every road, junction, turn, and landmark along the way.
The full qualification typically takes three to four years to complete, with candidates required to pass at least twelve one-on-one oral examinations throughout the process.
Research has found that training for The Knowledge can measurably alter the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for spatial memory, which is generally larger in London taxi drivers than in the wider population.
There are two licence badges upon qualification: a yellow one covering the suburban areas, and the considerably more difficult green badge, which covers all of London.

@D1ggaGa @WildRover2000 @taxi_leaks He also helps us and our legal team with complaints he can provide location data to assist members in proving where they were, details on times etc with wheelchair refusals. But the haters don’t care!

@WildRover2000 @taxi_leaks @TheLTDA Zain has been around since the days of Hailo… he stood up for me after spurious claim to TFL.

@TheLTDA, before we jump to conclusions, can you please explain why Lyft’s operations manager is visiting the LTDA and Steve? Lyft is no different from Uber.
Yellow cab drivers in New York pay between 35% and 50% commission. Do you realise the same thing could happen in London?

A Waymo self-driving car was attacked in London on Friday 9 May. Dashcam footage shows a pedestrian approach the car and smashing the LiDAR sensor array before walking away. Waymo has been testing fully autonomous Jaguar I-PACEs across 20 London boroughs since October, running them from its London depot in Park Royal. The vehicles still carry a safety driver during the mapping phase.

Had two American ladies for a tour 2day from the Covent Garden Hotel.
When I arrived they were so stressed as one had left her handbag and PASSPORT in a black taxi. With help from the concierge and me ringing the @LTDA we quickly identified the driver Darren who returned it💪👏
