Not far from Trafalgar Square is London's Charing Cross rail station. This was taken at around midday otherwise you would have been able to see the payphone. It gets really very very busy here during the rush hour(s).

One of the few remaining payphones actually in the London Underground network. This is on a district line platform that is not actually proper underground but is under the Kings Cross mainline station building. Never the less 1000s of people pass this one throughout the whole day.

Number is for the phone on the far right. Good one this as you get a lot of people hanging around here waiting for their train. People interested in Harry Potter will have to bear with me, as there is a payphone near the famous platform, but it's situated behind a ticket barrier. So you'll have to wait till I get around to that one.

Oh, this has to be my favourite payphone I've ever had the pleasure to find. It featured on my old payphone net site. Anyone who remembers, the shot was taken from the inside out. Difference now is that this laundrette has changed hands and is a lot more cluttered inside. There is now a person sat at the window taking on repairs to clothes and also does service washes. I just love how this payphone is located just behind her and is most certainly going to get answered. If you do call this box please be polite as we don't want them to have it removed due to nuisance calls. Also, when I used to visit this wash, the box was used by local families to receive calls from relevant family member (wondering how much longer mums are going to be and so on..). One other thing, the model of the payphone has been updated to a newer type.

Phone rings very loud, more than loud enough to get a reaction from the public seating to the right. Also gets a good crowd in the evening rush with the platform information being displayed, above where the lady with the paper is right now.

Very close to the famous brick lane. In the shot on the top right you can see the bus shelter, showing just how close this is to the westbound bus stop. Commuters will hear this no problem. By the way this was a very smelly phone box.

Two sweet payphones standing directly next to the seated waiting around at Gate 15, and they're also opposite the public toilets here. You'll get noticed as the area is pretty quite with people just bored of waiting for their flight. Flights from here can be leaving for any part of the world but they do tend to be Lufthansa (the national airliner here).

Took these a shot of these two airport payphones just before I made way through security (positioned directly opposite these payphones). I was surprised that I weren't called up and told off for taking pictures in
such a secure area. Two police officers even saw me and said nothing. You can see them behind a pillar in my panoramic shot here. Busyish area, alot of people passing by coming from and going to the public toilets that are off to the right of these payphones.

Ok they aren't payphones... But they are call able telephones that are accessible by the public. They cool thing is that they do actually ring. This'll get the attention of anyone near to them. Even more so if anyone's looking at them. They are both iPhones, one is the 4G (left) the other is a 3G (right).

One day, I'll go back and list the numbers for each of these payphones. Would be awesome to just call them all at once. You'd stand a good chance of an answer, even just by calling one of them.
