HISTORY

It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and was a smaller version of his earlier kiosks, the K2 (1924) and K3 (c.1930). The design of the K6 kiosk was influenced by the Neo-classical works of Sir John Soane, and with 70,000 constructed became one of the most iconic mass-produced structures of the C20.
