K6 telephone kiosk adjacent to the Reading Room, Church Knowle

The K6 telephone kiosk, located adjacent to the Reading Room in Church Knowle, was designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. This kiosk is primarily made of cast iron and glass and has a square shape.

The K6 features a standardized design, painted red overall, with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides. The top panels display applied crowns rather than perforated ones. Beneath the shallow domed roof, there are rectangular white display signs that read "TELEPHONE."

Although the K6 kiosk has modernized internal equipment, it remains structurally intact. However, the red paint is flaking in places, and the display signs have faded. It is situated near several listed buildings: the Reading Room (Grade II) is directly to the west, the Old Cottage (Grade II) is opposite to the southeast, and the Post Office (Grade II) is approximately 30 meters to the southwest. Additionally, there is a pair of Grade II cottages listed as Nos 11 and 12, including Church Knowle stores, to the southeast. The kiosk maintains a good visual relationship with these nearby listed buildings.
