K6 Telephone Kiosk adjacent to St Johns College (West Block), St Giles, Oxford

The K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is a notable example of a standardised design made of cast iron sections bolted together. It is painted red overall and features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with moulded crowns on the top panels rather than perforated ones. There are rectangular white display signs reading 'TELEPHONE' beneath the shallow curved roof.

Despite some graffiti on the top panels and the rear elevation, the kiosk remains largely intact and is in generally good condition, retaining all but two of its glazing panels. The rear section has been replaced with a stainless steel panel that matches the original appearance, and the metal insert in the wooden door has also been replaced with a stainless steel panel, painted to match the original. The kiosk is not in operational use, and the internal telephone equipment has been removed.

Located on the east side of St Giles, the kiosk is adjacent to the Grade II-listed North and West Blocks of St John's College. To the south, on the same side of the road, are the Grade I-listed Cooks Building and the Grade II-listed boundary wall of St John's College. The telephone kiosk has a strong visual relationship with these four listed buildings collectively.
