How black cab drivers memorise every roa...

About this episode

London black cab drivers memorise (almost) every road in the city. I wanted to know how.

Today, I interview 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.
