If someone showed you a photo of a red phone booth (or red telephone box as they are more commonly known in the UK), I would guess that a large percentage would immediately know you were in London. These bright red phone booths are a familiar sight when roaming the streets of London, and even though their presence has declined with the creation of the cell phone, they are still a staple around the city.
So, how excited was I to find one just around the corner of my hotel (unfortunately after I had already spent a ridiculous amount of Pounds trying to make a local call with the crappy hotel pay phone). Obviously, as a tourist I had to step into one of them and pretend to make a phone call. Unfortunately, as locals walked by staring at my ridiculousness, my face would turn a shade similar to the color of the booth. Shame!
