The Earl’s Court ‘TARDIS’ was put in place on Thursday 18
April, 1996. It was a modern update to the iconic 1930s design and was intended
as the first in a new line of public safety systems. It incorporated a phone
linked directly to the Metropolitan Police switchboard and a CCTV camera. The
project was abandoned before a full roll-out of similar boxes throughout London.
