London Telephone Boxes, London


Those of us in London right now cant help but notice these old style telephone boxes doted around the city; 100 in total (interestingly designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott who also designed another iconic London landmark that is now the Tate Modern).  Anyway, in celebration of 25 years of Childline various artists and designers have contributed to these incredibly missed boxes that were part of  London streets for so long (although there are still a few around Parliment Square which always have tourists hanging off the doors) and will be auctioned off to raise money for Childline.  A very worthy cause indeed and great to see these much loved telephone boxes once again.
