This is not a Tardis. It’s an actual Police box.

I wonder how many tourists take photos of police boxes as if they were national landmarks?

Never mind, I just searched instagram

This might be the most British street scene of all time — a Chemist, a Pret, and a guy who will give you 35p for a Euro. And a Tardis.

I understand it though, certain things have disappeared over my 23 years. Pay phones and collect calls have basically vanished. 1-800-C-A-L-L-A-T-T.

I wouldn’t have gone as far as searching one out, but once you fall over one, you’ve really got to take a photo, don’t you.

I must admit I was surprised to look it up and find it was real. I totally expected it to be an advertising gimmick, particularly given the location. I assumed the police box as an actual thing was long gone.

Though Bryon ruins it. They do a damn fine burger - most un-British.

Is Lord Byron aware they’re using his name like that?

Well that’s because it’s TARDIS. You gotta have the all caps in there given it’s an acronym.

You are of course absolutely correct. Doesn’t recognise that one either though.
