Can you get more London than this?

Anyone who has looked at the Wills plastic kit range since the late 1980s will be familiar with this prototype - a wooden shelter/cafe for cab drivers. These tiny little buildings used to be dotted around the capital providing respite for those locked away in their black cabs for most of the day. 

Nowadays, there are only 13 shelters left. This one is on the corner of Russel Square, close to the British Museum and a pub I was meeting some friends for a  drink later.

Tea only costs £1 for the public - one of the best bargains in London?
