How this taxi driver memorised 25k roads

London black cab drivers have memorised every road in the city. I wondered how. Today, I interviewed one of London’s most well-known black cabbies, Tom the Taxi Driver. He explains how he memorised 25,000 roads in London sharing the memory tactics he used. We go into the science of memory, how taxi drivers literally have a bigger brain, and I attempt to memorise every capital in the world.

Obviously being a cabbie in London is a much more prestigious and better paying line of work than in the cities of the USA. When I was young, I drove a cab company owned ambulance in a fair sized city. Night shift. Our dispatcher was also the cab dispatcher. I got to know most of the cab drivers. They were a sketchy bunch of very colorful dudes. To get the "badge" was to pay a fee at City Hall. No test required. This was before GPS. Now I believe most just use Uber or Lyft.
