K6 Kiosk

Is there anything more British than a red telephone box? Like giant red soldiers, they have been a landmark for a lifetime.

From an era when designs were beautiful as well as practical they represent the best of British.

Unicorn is preserving the past for the future with the highest quality restoration of this design icon.

Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George the Fifth in 1935 the K6 kiosk was the first to be installed across the country and is what the World knows as the red telephone box.

Our Jubilee kiosk is restored to Museum Specification from the bare metal using original materials or reproduced from original patterns. It features:

hand cast glazing frames with brass tapered glazing pins

brass door hinges, shackles, chrome pins and leather door restraining straps

stainless steel and chrome door pull handle.

glazed throughout in toughened safety glass

Jubilee Interior of two piece wallboard, chrome notice frames with period notices
