Description

The K6 Telephone Kiosk is a standardised design made from cast iron and painted red. It has a square plan and stands approximately 2.4 meters tall. The door and side panels are divided into eight horizontal glazed panels, featuring vertical marginal glazing bars. Above the glazing, there are rectangular signs that read ‘TELEPHONE’, along with cast iron crowns placed above, beneath the shallow Soanian domed roof.

This kiosk is located on the edge of Trafalgar Square and has a clear visual relationship with several highly-graded listed buildings nearby.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
