Little red phonebooth
![]()
Are there still phone booths in America? There must be, but it seems to be open air in most places. In Britain, they have names for their booths. The K2, the K6,the KX200, etc. There’s an effort underway to save the old K2 model shown here.
Go here for a discussion of the dilemma:
The KX100? You can take it or leave it. The KX200? Wouldn’t shelter a passing badger. But the K2 - now you’re talking. Most Britons associate a phone box with the crown-topped, red-painted K2 with its heavy door. The 1924 design, like that of the Routemaster, has embedded itself so firmly in the British imagination that the thought of abandoning it seems heretical.
