Five Grade II-Listed Red Phone Boxes Set for 11 September Auction in Enfield

Strong early enquiries highlight reuse potential subject to planning consent.

Overview

  • Auctioneer Strettons has listed two lots for sale: four kiosks in Little Park Gardens, Enfield Town, guided at £28,000, and a single kiosk on The Green, Winchmore Hill, guided at £10,000.
  • The lots are scheduled to go under the hammer at 12pm on Thursday, 11 September, with Strettons reporting a healthy level of interest from prospective bidders.
  • The 1930s kiosks are Grade II-listed, which means any alterations or changes of use would require appropriate permissions and must respect their heritage status.
  • Planning approvals granted in 2021–2022 to Giving Hands Charity Trust for retail-style conversions were not carried out, and it is unclear whether the charity still owns the boxes.
  • Strettons cites potential uses subject to consent including advertising, coffee sales, ice cream, florist, vending machines, mini art gallery, or community functions such as a defibrillator installation.
