Description
Perhaps Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's most recognizable design contribution to London are his ubiquitous red telephone boxes, as synonymous with the city as Big Ben or the London Eye. The design of the box resembles the tomb of fellow British architect Sir John Soane in St. Pancras Churchyard. Scott admired Soane and was appointed a trustee of the Sir John Soane museum in 1925, a year after submitting his kiosk design.[1]
