The Knowledge is the study of London that a prospective taxi driver must complete in order to obtain a license to operate a black cab in London, the purpose of which is for them to demonstrate that they know the roads, routes and places of London. Because a passing taxi can be hailed on the street the driver is required to know the route immediately rather than stopping to look at a map or ask a controller by radio.
