These relics of 1960s design are protected thanks to applications by phone box enthusiast @K8iosk.
There are now 23 K8s on the National Heritage List for England.

Christ this place becomes more toxic by the hour. Fuelled primarily by the owner of twitter himself. Think my days on here are ending. .
In researching the history of the KX kiosk range, I keep finding great stories. Here's a gem. Its July 1990, and residents of Hickling are about to sit-in protest to stop their K6 from becoming a #KX100. The police will be called... hicklingnottslocalhistory.co…

Note for @BBCBreaking @BBCNews
Deliberately ignoring a newsworthy event like today’s rejoin march, or worse still, doing so under instruction from the establishment, is a dereliction of duty, and an insult to your profession.
Are you Russia Today or the BBC?
Shame on you!
Oh @MrTimDunn, you've out done yourself with this gem. Heartfelt thanks for pulling this K8 Ode together.
☎️🚇Super heritage news:
Four modernist K8 telephone kiosks on @tfl London Underground platforms have been Listed Grade II by @DCMS, advised by @HistoricEngland. So! Earlier this week I went hunting for ALL SEVEN K8s in public areas… and made you this video about them📞

Having watched #bbcqt it was living the nightmare again listening to the idiotic reasoning behind wanting to isolate ourselves. “Health and rooftops,straight bananas and immigrants claiming benefit having reached the shore.”!!!! please give our kids a break
