Site Locations of Metropolitan Police Telephone Boxes and Telephone Posts



A comprehensive listing of all Police Call Boxes and Posts in the Metropolitan Police District as compiled in the early 1990's, including their locations, Sub-Divisional stations to which attached, dates of service, and any association with an Air Raid Warning Siren (usually beginning 1939-1941).

Click on one of the Division letters above to view the list of Police Boxes and Police Posts in that Division.

   List found and scanned by Mark Dando (dalekoracle)
   Transcribed by Dave Brown (loreisarvendu), with corrections and additional transcription by Alan Hale (hb88banzai)
   Original List researched and compiled by Mike Knight (plumbly7)
   Formatted for this Forum by Scarfwearer & hb88banzai

Historical Notes:
This List was found by Mark Dando (dalekoracle) in early 2012 among the records relating to Police Boxes still held at the Metropolitan Police Archives. With permission, these hand typed pages were scanned and presented to this Forum - the original transcription of which then formed the basis for the Metbox Database that has proven so useful in furthering our research on the Met Box design and how it changed over time.

From internal references it was obvious this List was prepared some time after the removal of the last Metropolitan Police Box from the streets of Greater London in 1980, but its origin and history remained a mystery until its compiler was alerted to the presence of this Forum, then found and joined it, relating the List's history in various postings and e-mails. Per Mike Knight (plumbly7), he compiled this List some time in the early 1990's, primarily using records held at The National Archives in Kew. When completed, a copy was presented by him to the Metropolitan Police Archives for their records, where it quietly waited to be rediscovered by dalekoracle some 20 years later.

Since the time the original List was prepared, Mike has continued to work on it (as well as the ones for Glasgow and Edinburgh, also on this site), making countless corrections and additions as new material was found and studied, and old material reappraised and put into context. We hope to be able to present his current version of this List at some point in the future, but being a snapshot in time of research up to the early 1990's, this version of the Met List is of great interest all on its own.

Note that the nature of the original records (loose papers, disorganized files and memos, hand drawn maps of actual and proposed sitings, etc.), together with how they were filed, make the source materials very difficult to work with even after being found, especially as they are often conflicting and/or changed through time. During the years it was in operation, the Metropolitan Police Telephone Box System was in almost constant flux - Boxes and Posts being added, moved, replaced, and removed as needed on a continuous basis for well over 40 years. Further, many of the changes were often either poorly documented or the relevant records lost or misplaced through time. It is thus a major task to try to make sense of it all, so the many, relatively minor, errors and omissions in this List are only to be expected (see Textual Notes below), especially considering the early date of its preparation and its 'work in progress' nature. I do not envy Mr. Knight the great effort he has expended in researching and preparing these Lists, but we can be eternally grateful that he did.

A Note on Nomenclature:
Within the Metropolitan Police, specific Boxes & Posts were most often referred to only by number, leaving off the Division letter except when it wasn't obvious which Division it belonged to. The Boxes and Posts themselves only showed the number on the oval Number Plate located inside each phone cupboard - since any civilian or officer using the communication point's telephone was by default connected to a specific Sub-Divisional Station there was no need to give the Division letter. When the Division did have to be noted, it was almost universally listed after the number, eg - "Box 23V". This List, on the other hand, uses the form "V23" for that same Box, and this format has been retained as such both here and in the List-derived Metbox Database (in the latter case for ease in sorting and selecting by Division in the Database's default list mode).

Textual Notes:
I have taken a very conservative approach to editing the text. Even though the original typed document was prepared in the early 1990s, and thus constitutes an after the fact compilation from earlier source material, it was felt that since it was found in the Metropolitan Police Archives it should now be considered a historical document itself and deserves to be kept intact for reference purposes. The only notable change is that the dates have been altered slightly, now being connected by dashes and separated using slashes for clarity and web formatting reasons.

Place names appear as originally typed, with corrections to spelling only on ordinary words, and the rather idiosyncratic punctuation and capitalization have been maintained as originally typed, save for where doing so would result in potential confusion and in the column headers, where "all-caps" was interpreted as "bold" per common practice.

One page was missing from the original file, so the data for the Boxes on that page (P35-P45) were partially reconstructed using information supplied by the original compiler of the List, Mike Knight. These additions, being from a different source and time, are noted by their entries being coloured RED in the table for P Division.

As noted above, many minor errors and omissions have been discovered in this List during our efforts to research the Metropolitan Police Box System and identify the locations of Boxes and Posts depicted in a myriad of photographs. Whatever their origin or cause, they include spelling or street name errors, missing or wrong dates, incorrect cardinal directions, inaccurate distance notations, and unremarked upon resitings. None of these errors or omissions have been corrected here, but some will be commented upon below each Division List in a separate section headed "Errata and Notes". These last are a work in progress and do not yet reflect all that is known about each Box, Post or Site, so lack of a notation there should not be considered confirmation of the accuracy of the data for a given Box or Post in the List. In turn, a comment or correction may itself eventually turn out to be inaccurate, incomplete, or just plain wrong.

Finally, we are incredibly indebted to Mike Knight for his efforts in researching and compiling the Met List in the first place, and to Mark Dando for making the visit to the Met's Archives, rediscovering the existence of this document and scanning it for posterity. It has been of inestimable help in all our researches - many, many thanks to all involved.
