"A rescued telephone box in Brockley has re-opened its door as a community book exchange."

[Growlybear]

There have been several telephone boxes that have been converted to community libraries, and I think it's a nice idea if they aren't being used regularly. I was quite surprised to see that permission was given for the Brockley telephone box to be converted, as I thought almost all of the remaining K2 phone boxed had been given Grade II listed status.

Grade II only effects the outside appearance of a structure, so wouldn't effect a change to the inside. I really like this idea. Maybe it's one for cleaner, greener, safer funding?

Do we have any of the K2 boxes remaining in ED? The only ones I can think of is the phone box on the corner of Sydenham Hill and London Road by Horniman Park and in Dulwich Village.

I've seen this implemented in a couple of station waiting rooms, which we don't have. Do the phone box exchanges survive functionally in the wild?

There's one in Peckham on Lyndhurst Grove by the Academy.

Not sure it would survive the school kids though...

I think there is one on either Upland or Friern Road, at the Peckham Rye end.

[Rolo Tomasi]

Really? What have you seen them vandalise?

[hellosailor]

Yes there is one where Friern meets Upland
