The first public telephone booth of England was designed and manufactured by the General Post Office which was established in 1920, and its name was K1, namely, the Kiosk No.1. Furthermore, this telephone booth has already been replaced by the latter telephone booths at present. However, there was only one left in the Trinity Market of the Kinston-upon-Hull, which was not the same style as the telephone booths on the streets of London at present.

Moreover, the telephone booths which were designed by the Giles Gilbert Scott actually were the second versions of the K2, which was mainly installed on the streets of London. Also, the General Post Office thought that the design of the K1 was old and out of date, so it invited three famous designers to design the new looks of telephone booths on the streets of London, and finally the design works which were designed by the Giles Gilbert Scott were left. What’s more, the outside color of the telephone booths which was designed by the Giles Gilbert Scott was silver and the inside colors of them were blue and green, however, they were totally changed into the red color in the end. Also, these kinds of red telephone booths were widely spread and used on the streets of London in 1926. And the changes of the colors of the telephone booths in London also influenced the indentifying of people in the world to the telephone booths in London, and as long as people see the red telephone booths, they will remind and remember England for the first time.
