Summary
A Knowledge boy, a familiar sight on the streets of central London.
The age and sex of this person is not clear but statistically they are likely to be young and male. The red L-plate at the rear of the motor scooter suggests that the bike has been acquired purely for "doing The Knowledge". The clip board above the handlebars contains a list of the streets to be "done" today.
Seen here waiting at traffic lights at grid reference TQ311794 at the north end of Kennington Road. SE1. In the terminology of The Knowledge, from here the rider can go "left - Westminster Bridge Road, forward - Baylis Road or right - Westminster Bridge Road". But as well as knowing the road names, they will be expected to know that in front is Lambeth North tube station, the stone building on the right is Christ Church and Upton Chapel and further back on the right is Kennington Police Station.
