A female taxi driver is on a mission to get more women cabbies on London’s roads.

Come rain or shine, from her home in Deptford, Lisa Seymour teaches women the Knowledge for free. The Knowledge was introduced as a requirement for London taxi drivers back in 1865 and as they can be asked to go anywhere, drivers must have a thorough knowledge of the capital.
