A SHORT HISTORY
Designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the K6 kiosk was commissioned to commemorate King George V’s
Silver Jubilee. Its elegant cast-iron form, domed roof, and panelled glazing are celebrated features of British
industrial design. The kiosk is a symbol of British civic identity and has become a heritage asset valued by both
local communities and visitors.
