Description
A classically attractive example of the original Gilbert Scott design for the second generation telephone kiosks; the K2 evolved into the smaller, ubiquitous K6, with differently designed window panes so common in town and country landscapes for so long but now permanently at risk first from the design being unsuitable for modern operations and ultimately from pure redudnancy in the face of mobile phone technology. The majority of the K2s that remain are in bigger towns and cities like this one in London
