Brand new station. These payphones have been repositioned in a great location. There will be a lot of people passing them as they leave the ticket office exit. The station is looking very accessable and modern.

A very exclusive part of London to live. To be honest there isn't a great chance of obtaining an answer to your call here. But it is still a pretty phone box and a very nice part of central London.

The subway linking the station with the underground. At night you get homeless people sleeping here. The sound of the ringing phone has an echo effect through the tunnel.

A treasure to this collection. You can see (faintly) in the background the column of Britain's national hero, Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Square. This was taken in Whitehall where Downing Street can also be found.

Not far from Trafalgar Square is London's Charing Cross rail station. This was taken at around midday otherwise you would have been able to see the payphone. It gets really very very busy here during the rush hour(s).

One of the few remaining payphones actually in the London Underground network. This is on a district line platform that is not actually proper underground but is under the Kings Cross mainline station building. Never the less 1000s of people pass this one throughout the whole day.

Number is for the phone on the far right. Good one this as you get a lot of people hanging around here waiting for their train. People interested in Harry Potter will have to bear with me, as there is a payphone near the famous platform, but it's situated behind a ticket barrier. So you'll have to wait till I get around to that one.

Oh, this has to be my favourite payphone I've ever had the pleasure to find. It featured on my old payphone net site. Anyone who remembers, the shot was taken from the inside out. Difference now is that this laundrette has changed hands and is a lot more cluttered inside. There is now a person sat at the window taking on repairs to clothes and also does service washes. I just love how this payphone is located just behind her and is most certainly going to get answered. If you do call this box please be polite as we don't want them to have it removed due to nuisance calls. Also, when I used to visit this wash, the box was used by local families to receive calls from relevant family member (wondering how much longer mums are going to be and so on..). One other thing, the model of the payphone has been updated to a newer type.

Phone rings very loud, more than loud enough to get a reaction from the public seating to the right. Also gets a good crowd in the evening rush with the platform information being displayed, above where the lady with the paper is right now.

Very close to the famous brick lane. In the shot on the top right you can see the bus shelter, showing just how close this is to the westbound bus stop. Commuters will hear this no problem. By the way this was a very smelly phone box.
