I found this one ages ago, but lost the location on my HD. Recently found it again but it is just as puzzling.
I know its on Bus route 74, perhaps someone with better knowledge of the bus routes will be quicker to Identify it.  

Source is the London Transport website video archive, All that Mighty Heart 1962, time index at the bottom.
I haven't been able to run the video in a while so good thing I took clips, this is the only Box that appears.

The video Shows that this is directly across from the london "zoological gardens" north entrance.
Although the only box in the list that is close to listing Regents park is S37.

The same video has three police posts I am trying to Identify as well.

If that's the 74 route, I'd say it's somewhere between Putney Hill and Roehampton.

Unless they changed the route somewhere back in history :)
In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.

Interesting to see the Box was behind the hedge in Primrose Hill Park.
