Phone Box Thursday: Upper Street, London

It’s the last of the Islington phone boxes…for now.  I found a few more a year later in November 2017!

I don’t know if there’s a special reason these ones have been painted black, but it looks very striking.  It’s also great that they’ve been repurposed for wifi – another good 21st century use for phone boxes.

Somewhere new next week!

Update 5th February 2026: added coordinate link.
