K6 Telephone Kiosk, junction of Mandeville Place and Hinde Street, Marylebone

The telephone kiosk at the junction of Mandeville Place and Hinde Street, Marylebone is a standardised K6 design. It is made of cast iron, painted red with bands of horizontal glazing in the door and sides. The crowns situated on the top panels are applied, not perforated. There are rectangular white display signs, reading TELEPHONE beneath the shallow-curved roof. The kiosk is in good overall condition, retaining all of its glazed panels. The internal equipment has been modernised. The kiosk door was replaced with a replica by BT in 2017, although this is almost identical in form to the original (with the glazed panels mounted onto a timber door, painted red).

The position of the kiosk, on the east side of Mandeville Place, is approximately 5 metres from the junction with Hinde Street (to the north). Clustered around the junction are several listed buildings: on the opposite side of Mandeville Place is the School of Economic Science building at Nos 11 and 13 (Grade II; NHLE 1248447). On the north side of the junction are 11 and 12 Hinde Street (west side, both listed Grade II; NHLE 1231139 and 1357123 respectively), and, to the east side, James Weir’s Hinde Street Methodist Church (Grade II; NHLE 1231099).
