One of the boxes has been converted into DaillingIn, a specialist coffee shop. The telephone box, which had to be kitted out with a water supply and electricity, is leased from the Brighton-based The Red Kiosk Company and is run by Luke Thorpe.
OPEN 07:30-1500 MONDAY – SATURDAY
A news article about this was published in The Daily Mirror - 12th April 2017.
"DiallingIn just has space for a coffee machine and a small fridge for milk"
"There are no tables but there are a couple of stools for customers - or if there's a sudden downpour they can stand in the neighbouring phone box."
