British Style ♡ Red Telephone Boxes Are Retro Chic*

In Japan, the proliferation of mobile phones has led to a decrease in public telephones,

but in London, England, there are still many【red telephone boxes】 scattered throughout the city*

However, it seems their numbers are declining, and now they are being equipped with chargers and AEDs,

or turned into Wi-Fi hotspots, in order to adapt to the times and keep them alive.

Such efforts are wonderful, but the red telephone boxes still have that retro charm and are very stylish♡

They’re iconic symbols of London that make you want to snap a photo as soon as you see one♩

Taking wedding photos like this is also something to aspire to♡

But going all the way to England is quite tough...!

So in this article, I investigated red telephone boxes in Japan*
