The red telephone box designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott is a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom and is recognised throughout the world as one of the country's cultural icons. The example pictured here is a K6, the design seen most frequently outside London, and is situated near St Paul's Cathedral in the same city.
