    To become a certified London black cab driver, you must take a test that certifies your knowledge of the city. For London cabbies – and for London travelers – there are a few streets that are easier to learn than others.

    I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again: London is one of the most iconic destinations in the world. Can you think of a place with more well-known iconic buildings and places to visit? Maybe it's due to colonization and imperialism or maybe it's due to pop culture, but no matter the reason, everyone can picture a part of London in their mind's eye...

    London is full of must-see sights and places. There's Big Ben (the Elizabethan Tower) and the Houses of Parliament, which are finally free of their scaffolding after several years. There's also the London Eye nearby, St. Paul's Cathedral further down the river, and, of course, the iconic Tower Bridge.
