Like, such as

Hello,

what are your thoughts on this, please? An article about London taxi drivers.

"The drivers must learn more than 300 main routes through central London as well as points of interest or importance like /such as / so as theatres, hotels, hospitals, government buildings, parks, police stations and many more."

The solution, according to the key, is "such as". In my view, "like" is also possible. What do you think? And if "like" is not possible, why not?

such as is generally considered to be better and more standard English than like , although both are commonly said. so as makes no sense in this context. Clive
