+442072511925, OS 205-207 Post Office, Old Street, EC1V 9NR

As I was typing out this message a young lady interrupted to use the payphone I was standing in. She probably couldn't understand why I was in this phone box using a mobile! She was in a hurry so didn't explain why (not that anyone would care), but did take a shot of her using the payphone. Anyways, this box stands definitely in this pedestrianised part of Old Street. Get's plenty of through fair and rings loud too.

+442074072679 United Kingdom, England, London, London Bridge Station Concourse BR

This one is nearer the platform by further from the exit. Here again you gets lots of people catching a breath for their mad daily commute to and from work.

+442074071792 United Kingdom, England, London, London Bridge Railway Approach

Newsagent to the left in this shot. This box got my attention as it seems so very lonely. I doubt it ever gets used. But you my get the shot assistant to answer as it rings very loud and the shot gets boring outside rush and lunchtime hours.

+442073884072, Brill Place, London, NW1 1HD

Set in a pretty deprived part of central London. This box has been vandalised as you can see from the pictures. You won't get an answer due to the fact that the handset has been smashed up. But you might want to try in time, as it might ge fixed. But I have a feeling BT have given up on it.

+442072531111 United Kingdom, England, London, British Library, Ground Floor Cloakroom, NW1 2DB

Number is for the phone third from the right next to the old man. And guess what, he's a phone engineer believe it or not.

+442077042579, O/S 131 Upper Street, London, N1 1QP

This one on a busy high street. It's found a way to be viable, by combining the box with a cash machine. I love it's bright yellow colour, makes it unmissable. However it doesn't ring that loud, but at least it rings. It is outside a trendy bar so has some overspill sometimes, just have to try it and see. Good luck.

+442073882146 UK, England, London, Jct Marchmont Street Cartwright Gardens, OS 63

Very odd telephone casing. Never seen this type before. So, am glad to have this added to the collection. If anyone knows the history to this please message the group. Would be so interested to know if there are any others around.

+442073772802 UK, England, London, Aldgate High St, Aldgate Station, EC3N 1AH

Another rare sight. This lone payphone is on the landing between the platform and the exit. Get plenty of tourists on the weekend with loads of office workers during the week. This is probably the sweetest payphones.

+442078371768 & +442072782798, Opp Platform 3, Kings Cross Station, London, N1 0BL

The best one to call in this station. But only at a certain time. It has to be a week day in the evening between 19:00 and 20:00 with the very best time being 19:30 (GMT). Because this is the time that a big long queue that snakes right through the station develops and these payphones are position bang smack at the front. These people are waiting for their train the enter the station. Now the payphones ring quite low but they are audible. Just preserver and you'll gain a good conversation from this entry.

+442072841138 UK, England, London, Rupert St, OS Globe Theater, W1V 7FS

This is a good shot. The guy in the box is one of them flyers working for the "good time girls" in London. One of the things that has helped make the phone box famous in London. He caught a glimpse of me taking this picture, but walked off. Anyways, the box is situated bang smack next to London's red light district, however it is just outside the famous globe theatre to the right of this shot.

+442072840715, UK, England, London, Camden Road, OS The Worlds End Pub, NW1 9DL

This box made famous by the payphone directory site (http://www.payphone-directory.org/payuk.html). It's been listen on that site for a real long time and am quite happy that it still exists to this day. Was in quite a bad state when I took this picture. In any case you could have some fun with this in the early hours of a Saturday and Sunday morning. Loads and loads of trouble makers and police. The door was taken of this so am more than sure you'll get an answer to this one.
