Topographical test places of interest: questions and answers

Based on Topographical assessment guidelines (Transport for London, no date printed; PDF file dated 29 April 2026) and one other source. Checked 1 November 2026.

TfL lists finding places of interest as one part of the assessment. In the real test, you look at a map on screen and find the place. Our questions do not show a map, so learn these places on a map as well.

TfL does not publish a list of places. We chose well-known London places that a driver is likely to be asked for. Each one is checked on OpenStreetMap. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
