Tried all the different street names on there and no results

You won't find it on the Met database because that is the city of London.

That is registered as Post 22

As far as I know there was a guard shack in the tower of London.
That would likely be as close to a box as they got.

All the rest should be posts.
First a unique style of post, then PA2 &PA3 as replacements.

I've been meaning to talk to scarfwearer about a possible database for the 61 city of London posts.
I've mapped them all out already and been gathering photos.

I have all the necessary components to start a database for Edinburgh Boxes as well (Survey, photos, locations, maps).

Maybe now there is the functionality to add unlisted boxes you could just add them in with a CLPXX for the code rather than the division number I'm not suggesting doing that for other regions but for City of London it seems sensible as they are a hemmed in section of London.

Any picks of the unique posts ?

P.S. Sorry scarfwearer I seem to keep making extra work for you

I have them listed as CoL right now actually.

I have five right now, the best photo is on page 23 of "The rise and fall of the Police Box".
I'll be writing a new post for them soon.
