GV II K2 kiosk, c1927, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott.
Cast iron and painted red, the kiosk is neo-classical in inspiration with Soanian segmental vaulted roofs and multi-pane glazing reminiscent of a Georgian sash window, the latter with reeded strip surrounds and classical paterae.

(telephone call box) in this position on the Ordnance Survey map of 1936. Two further K2 kiosks, also marked on the 1936 map, survive to the north of the Hotel (qv).
