Cracking London’s Legendary Taxi Test
Imagine a world without GPS or sat navs, one where you’d have to commit to memory thousands of streets and landmarks just to get around town. For London’s black cab drivers, that’s all a part of the job. In order to get behind the wheel, drivers must pass The Knowledge, universally regarded as the world’s toughest taxi test. Applicants often take two to four years to prepare for the infamous exam, memorizing over 25,000 street names and 20,000 points of interest. Only one in five applicants pass the test, giving The Knowledge the same success rate as the U.S. Navy SEALs.

UK: Cabbies shut down the City of London in protest against Uber
Around 1,500 Black cab drivers shut down the City of London, Thursday, in a protest against deregulation of the taxi business and the subsequent rise of Uber and similar app hire taxi services. Protesters managed to shut the busy intersection of Bank junction, the heart of city's financial district. Len Martin, the chairman of the United Cabbies Group, said all we want is a level playing field, we don't want special treatment, we just want TFL to enforce the law, to enforce the regulations.

FIRST TIME IN A LONDON CAB | NEW LONDON TAXI TEST DRIVE REVIEW
Today is VEDA Day 7 and I’ll be showing you around the Streets of Buckhead (Atlanta, GA) in an unusual Uber. This is my first time in London cab. You don’t want to miss this new London taxi test drive review! This is a diesel 1987 Austin FX4 London Taxi Cab that was restored by MasterCard International as a promotional vehicle.
You might like to know… this London black cab was shipped over from Britain where the drivers, or as I like to call them “cabbie” must have the knowledge to pass a strict test before they take this electric taxi on a test drive.

London's Largest Taxi School faced with closure - London Live
A combination of gentrification, low unemployment and Uber has forced London’s largest school for cabbies to slam on the brakes.
Knowledge Point will shut in December after having trained black-cab drivers for 26 years in Islington, north London.
Filmed for London Live by Jack Webb.
How To Start a Diesel London Taxi
My 1967 diesel London black can starts first time every time. It also doesn't have door locks, so don't think about doing it yourself or I'll find you. You open the door (push down the window and use the inside handle), put the cab in neutral. Then push in the diesel cut-off, heat up the glowplugs and then turn on the ignition of the Austin FX4. Then push the starter button and you're away.
Here’s what London Uber and taxi drivers had to say on Uber’s ousting
The Post’s Karla Adam took a ride around London with an Uber driver and a taxi driver after the city announced it would not renew Uber’s license. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube:

BRITISH FOOD | 4 British Foods You MUST EAT in LONDON, ENGLAND | Pie, Mash + Liquor, Fry Up...
BRITISH FOOD TOUR in LONDON, ENGLAND | 4 Traditional Dishes you MUST EAT in England
We're in London, England! In this 3 part series we're hunting down the best British food in England's capital.
This is our third video from London and it's all about traditional British food.
We start the day with one of London's East End's most traditional foods- pie, mash and liquor at M Manzes, the oldest pie and mash shop in London. This is traditional London food at its finest- meat pies served with scoops of mash and a generous ladle of liquor- a parsley sauce. Alongside our feast we sample jellied eels- a dish that was traditionally served with pie, mash and liquor. Two of London's oldest street foods right there!
Next up we head for a bacon butty at a Cabmen's shelter. These famous green huts were originally founded in the 19th century for black cab drivers to grab a cup of tea and a meal. There are only a few of these huts left in London and as tradition dictates, only cabbies are allowed to sit inside- joe public can only order from the hatch.
Onto a quintessential English favourite- the fry-up! We head to the iconic Regency Cafe which has been around since 1946 to eat a traditional English breakfast made up of beans, sausages, eggs, black pudding, mushrooms, tomato and bacon accompanied by toast and tea.
We finish with a classic cream tea- fresh scones, raspberry jam and clotted cream with tea. Perfection!
We hope you enjoyed this British food video, thanks for watching! #britishfood #londonfood #englishfood

Pie, mash, liquor and jellied eels at M Manze, 87 Tower Bridge Rd, Bermondsey, London SE1 4TW, UK. Open Monday 11:00am to 2:00pm, Tuesday to Thursday 10:30am to 2:00pm, Friday 10:00am to 2:30pm, Saturday 10:00am to 2:45pm.

A cabbie's guide to eating in London
Travel writer Andrew Spooner goes on a culinary taxi tour around London, courtesy of his neighbour, cab driver 'Mudzi' Mehmet.
London cabbie drags passenger out by his feet, dumps him in middle of road
City of London police in England are looking for a cab driver who dragged a man by his feet out of the back seat of a taxi on Fenchurch Place. The passenger hit his head and was left unconscious in the middle of the street, police said. The driver then sauntered back to the scene to see what was happening, even talking to police but not mentioning his involvement, police said. It happened May 16, 2018. Watch how the other cab drivers appear to do nothing; also note the concerned woman bystander who seems the only one prepared to actually attend to the guy. London police ask anyone with information to call them at 0207 601 2222 and quote the reference number 2403.
