K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk is a standardised design, comprising a rectangular cast-iron box, c.2.4m (eight ft) in height and square on plan, with a shallow domed roof. The glazed door and side panels are divided by glazing bars into eight horizontal glazed panels with vertical marginal glazing bars. The back panel also has this moulding but is unglazed. The upper section has white illuminated signage panels on all four sides, inscribed ‘TELEPHONE’. Above each of these is a Tudor crown emblem, in use on K6 kiosks until c.1953. The telephone equipment inside is modern.

This K6 kiosk was probably installed in its present location in the 1990s. It stands at the south end of Old Bond Street near the junction with Burlington Gardens and has a strong visual relationship with several listed buildings.
