Near Covent Garden you can find a row of Sir Giles Gilbert Scotts iconic Red Telephone Boxes. In these days of mobile communications you wonder how much longer they will grace our streets.
'The Post Office chose to make Scott's winning design in cast iron (Scott had suggested mild steel) and to paint it red (Scott had suggested silver, with a "greeny-blue" interior) and, with other minor changes of detail, it was brought into service as the Kiosk No.2 or K2. From 1926 K2 was deployed in and around London and the K1 continued to be erected elsewhere.' (Source : Wikipedia)
