London's brand new, and supposedly high-tech, phone boxes are currently little more than elaborate-looking advertising boards, according to reports. Around 100 of them were installed across the capital by advertising firm Clear Channel last year, with 500 more set to pop up before the end of 2017. Each kiosk has been designed to offer Wi-Fi, touchscreen-controlled interactive maps and payphone services, but these don't appear to be working as they should, according to The Memo.

BT has announced that it will be replacing its famous and much-revered red boxes with new kiosks. Those kiosks won't allow people to hide in them, but will otherwise offer the modern version of phonebox technology – super fast Wi-Fi, free calls and chargers for phones, instead of traditional handsets. The new kiosks will start opening up on major high streets in London from next year. They'll eventually roll out to the rest of the country – though there'll be fewer of them than there are traditional phone boxes.
