About "Waiting For A Call In London"

by Dorothy Berry-Lound

About the artwork

Red telephone boxes, kiosks or booths used to be a familiar sight all over the United Kingdom, Malta, Gibraltar and Bermuda. Production of these eye-catching telephone boxes with their bright red color stopped in 1985 but these cultural icons can still be seen in many places. This group of telephone boxes are on the edge of Covent Garden in London.

They certainly caught your eye if you needed to make a call - in the days before mobile phones of course. But they were also quite dirty inside and sometimes vandalized.

In many places these telephone boxes have been made redundant and some cunning re-use has been made of them. There is even an 'Adopt a Kiosk' scheme. Some now contain emergency defibrillators for use by local communities. Many have become mini libraries offering book sharing opportunities. Some are used for floral displays. There are examples of people turning them into a small bar! And many of them have ended up as art installations.
