BBC puts cabbie's Knowledge to the test

The test that all black-cab drivers in London must pass to secure a licence should be scrapped in its current form, according to the Conservatives.

The Greater London Authority Conservatives called the test - known as the Knowledge - archaic and a major barrier to recruitment.

Drivers' representatives said they were "stunned and shocked" by the suggestion.

Anthony Street is from West Ruislip and has been a cabbie for 19 years. He says the intense training makes black cab drivers the best in the world.

The BBC's Helen Drew put Mr Street's knowledge of London to the test.
