Pair of K6 Telephone kiosks

This description is for a pair of K6 Telephone kiosks, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. They are made of cast iron, teak, and concrete.

The exterior features a standardized design with red-painted cast iron, long horizontal glazing in the doors and sides, and gilded crowns on the top panels that are applied but not perforated. Each kiosk has rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" beneath a shallow-curved roof. The kiosks are constructed from cast iron sections bolted together and stand on concrete bases, with a single side-hinged glazed teak entrance door for each.

The kiosks are in good condition and are located outside the Department for International Development on Whitehall, opposite the Old Shades public house and Whitehall House. The Admiralty Screen by Robert Adam is immediately to the left of the kiosks. They also have a strong visual connection with Nelson's Column and the equestrian statue of Charles I to the north. To the south, views from the kiosks include the Houses of Parliament, which can be seen rising in the distance above a statue of the Duke of Cambridge.

Inside, all glass is intact, and the kiosks are equipped with operational 21st-century telephone equipment.
