England - London - Public telephone box in snow

A traditional red telephone box is seen on Denmark Hill, South London covered in fresh snow from overnight snowfall. Pedestrians walk past next to Ruskin Park, SE24. These K-series kiosks were designed in 1936 by the renowned designer Giles Gilbert Scott. With the increasing use of mobile phones the static phone boxes are still used in remote areas of the UK where mobile service is still patchy and in major towns and cities, their presence is becoming rarer. In rural regions however, the British red phone box is still a delight to see and use.
