A documentary going behind the scenes of one of the hardest exams in the world, the test that all black cabbies must take: The Knowledge of London.

To pass this legendary exam candidates must memorize and be able to recall the capital’s 25,000 + streets, 100,000 points of interest and how they all fit together. The film follows the surprising range of characters who are each at various stages of the process, including a single mum, Kosovan immigrant and a bus driver.
