This driver was a bit ahead of his time, unfortunately it would be another 20 years before the Underground Car Park was built.😅 London.

At one vibrant corner in London, you can find three of the city’s iconic red symbols, each representing a unique aspect of its cultural and historical landscape. First, the classic red telephone box stands proudly, a beloved relic of British design. These iconic kiosks, once a common sight across the city, evoke nostalgia and are often used as photo spots for tourists and locals alike.

Next to the telephone box, a red post box catches the eye, another quintessential feature of London’s streets. These post boxes, established in the 19th century, have become symbols of British communication and heritage. Their striking color and distinctive design make them an essential part of the urban landscape, representing the reliability of the postal service.

Completing this trio is a red double-decker bus, gracefully navigating the bustling street. The iconic Routemaster buses are not only a vital mode of transport but also a symbol of London’s charm. With their unique shape and vibrant hue, they embody the city's spirit and offer a convenient way to explore its many attractions. Together, these three red icons at one corner create a picturesque scene, capturing the essence of London’s identity and inviting passersby to appreciate its rich history.
