The Knowledge
Derek Miles has driven a black cab in London for twenty-six years. Before he got his licence, he spent four years studying for a famous test called the Knowledge. He had to learn about twenty-five thousand streets by heart, as well as thousands of shops, theatres and hospitals. His wife used to say that he knew London better than he knew her. He always laughed, but he never said she was wrong. One Saturday morning in June, it was raining hard on Oxford Street. A young man in a grey suit ran into the road and waved both arms. Derek stopped, and the man jumped into the back seat. He was wet and out of breath. “St Mary’s Church in Islington, please,” he said. “As fast as you can. My sister is getting married in twenty minutes, and I’m giving the speech.”
