When I was doing "The Knowledge" to become a London black cab driver in the seventies, it consisted of being periodically called to make an "appearance" at The Public Carriage Office to be tested on your progress.
The examiners would often give you 2 points linked in some way, and you'd have to name every street that you'd use to get from A to B, in as straight as possible line.
e.g., Q.P.R. F.C. to Fulham F.C., or City of London Police H.Q. (Wood St. E.C.1) to Metropolitan Police H.Q. (Broadway S.W.1).
One that they'd use occasionally was Cock Lane, (Smithfield), to Pratt Street N.W.1.
