I doubt that very much indeed...As someone who is a year in to studying the All London Knowledge, I can tell you quite comfortably that nobody knows whats involved in learning the Knowledge of London unless you actually do it.
I bet you could tell me the route from your home to work, but could you tell me the name of each road and the sequence of the turns you have to take and points of interest you would pass along the way. All of a sudden I bet you don't know London as well as me...?!
You try recalling 15,000 road names, 20,000 points of interest, and the fastest route between point A & B. I have to do this. It's 'kin hard I'm telling you. The equivalent of a degree, AND I work full time on top of it.
Also, Black Cabs (Taxis), have a 3 tier meter charge depending on what time of day it is or whether it's a bank holiday. They can't charge what they feel like unless it's off the meter (and how many times has a Black Cab offered that to you?).
Right. Soap box away =D
