Description
This is a pair of K2 telephone kiosks located to the east of Battersea Arts Centre. The kiosks are designed in the standard K2 style, featuring a square shape made of cast iron and painted red. They are topped with a shallow domed roof that has pendentives. Each kiosk has 18 glazed rectangular lights on the door and sides, although some of these have been replaced with perspex. The sides are framed by a shallow, reeded strip with small decorative paterae at the corners. On each face of the frieze, there is a rectangular white glazed panel that displays the word 'TELEPHONE' in black lettering. Additionally, each segmental pediment on the sides of the dome is adorned with a perforated crown, which is the symbol of the General Post Office (GPO).
