Description

The K6 Telephone Kiosk is a Grade II listed structure designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. It was produced by various contractors and is made of cast iron and glass. The kiosk has a square plan and features three glazed sides, including a door, while the rear side is solid. Each glazed side contains eight horizontal strips of glass with narrow margin lights on either side. At the top, there is a domed roof inspired by Sir John Soane, supported by four arched sides, each adorned with a crown in relief above a glazed panel that displays the word 'TELEPHONE'.

This kiosk, known as the 'Jubilee Kiosk', was introduced to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and is a development of Scott's earlier K2 kiosk design from 1924. Its design is iconic, representing a blend of Neoclassical elements with modern functionality.

The K6 kiosk is recognized for its industrial design, showcasing Scott's adaptation of classical forms for contemporary use. It is a notable example of its type, located within a conservation area and visually related to other listed buildings, including Clearview and The Cedars on High Street.
