Michael Overs blogs about his efforts to learn the streets of London well enough to earn the green badge of the London cabbie.
The London cabbie's "Knowledge" - downloadable for £24.99
To get a London taxi license, a cabbie has to master "The Knowledge" --memorize 320 runs and 20,000 points within five miles of Charing Cross. This is a set of study materials. "This complete pack contains a full set of runs, Points (over 30,000), Blank Maps (over 30), a list of London Embassies, Restaurants (over 4,000), Police Stations and Police memorials, Blue Plaques, London Museums, Theatres, Squares and Statues."
