Collapsing red telephone box??

[apbremer]

Does anyone know what is happening, if anything, to this poor telephone kiosk, almost opposite the Horniman, on the corner of Sydenham Hill and Lordship Lane? It has been teetering on the brink of collapse for years, is completely vandalised and is now being strangled by ivy. It is a disgrace and a real blot on the landscape. Surely these red boxes are valuable, if only for scrap??

I kind of like it. Nature is taking it back

I thought that all the remaining K2 phone boxes in London had now been listed, so presumably this one couldn't be removed or sold?

Grade II listed, yes. They weigh a tonne too. I like it, I hate to see everything so perfect.

Pictures of it here..
