The Knowledge of London
December 2014 - December 2017
The Knowledge is the immersive study procedure that all aspiring cab drivers of London must complete to earn their living as a hackney carriage driver.
This includes a written examination and a minimum of 12 oral appearances to demonstrate you have the required standard to join the gold standard taxi service. There is no set finish line, with most candidates averaging between 3-5 years to complete this arduous task.
It took me 2 years and 11 months to complete The Knowledge and gain my coveted green badge.
