Series end
Have been watching ‘Relic Hunter’ and in the last episode we have this:

South Kensington, London
I’ve wondered for a while why disused phone boxes weren’t being used as ATMs. I wonder no longer. I just came back from South Kensington in London and saw my first in what I think will be a continuing trend. Note that although one side has become an ATM, another side remains a phone.
