The fascinating story behind the medieval-looking monument outside Charing Cross Station… It is a replica of the original Charing Cross, one of twelve Eleanor Crosses that King Edward I erected after his wife Eleanor of Castile died in 1290. Most, including the one in London, was destroyed in the 17th century by the Parliamentarians. This one is a Victorian replica from 1865, designed by Edward Middleton Barry, who also designed the station. . . . . . . #london #londonhistory #livinglondonhistor

Since 1865, London taxi cab drivers must pass ‘The Knowledge’ - a famous test for which they memorise 25,000 streets and roughly 20,000 landmarks within a six-mile radius of Charing Cross. It often takes years to pass. Sadly, there are now plans to scrap The Knowledge given the rise of taxi apps like Uber which do not require it. This clip is of a ‘knowledge school’, from BBC Nationwide, 1980. #History #london #LondonHistory #britishhistory #traditional #1980s #archive #fyp
