K6 type box designed by Giles Gilbert Scott and first used in 1936. These examples could both date from post WWII, or the George VI one could be earlier. These boxes have been resited as a part of the environmental improvements to Agincourt Square made in c1990. The OS map, however, shows that one Telephone Call Box was previously situated in more or less the same position while another stood outside No. 10 and it may well be that these are the same ones.
