Transport for London

Choosing the right badge

This film will help you choose between the Green Badge for central London and the Yellow Badge for the suburbs. Which is right for you?

Transcript of video content

There are two types of badges that a driver can get; a Green Badge will enable that driver to ply for hire anywhere within the Metropolitan Police or City of London Police area.

The Yellow Badge is split up into all the boundaries depicted by the boroughs.

The Suburban Knowledge gives the candidate the opportunity to study for the London Borough of Bromley or the London Borough of Croydon.

And they just study that particular area which is much smaller than the candidates on the Green Badge.
