Taxi Knowledge Test

Leicester streets and places: questions and answers

Based on Hackney carriage/private hire drivers' test: streets/places/areas included (Appendix B) (Leicester City Council, undated; uploaded February 2026, file created 2015) and one other source. Checked .

In the real Leicester test you get outline maps and must find places, streets, main roads and areas or estates. The Council publishes the list of streets, places and areas the test uses.

We cannot give you the Council's maps, so these questions ask which road a place is on and which area a street is in. Every answer was checked on OpenStreetMap. Study a good street map of Leicester as well, including the one-way system and pedestrian zones.

Questions people ask

Is every street on the list covered here?

No. We wrote questions where OpenStreetMap gave a clear answer. Use the full Council list and a street map to learn the rest.

Why are some places on the list missing?

Some names on the list, such as shops and offices, have closed or moved since it was written, or we could not confirm them on the map. We left those out rather than guess.
