Recently, Britain's red telephone booths have been transformed into coffee houses, dessert houses and shoeshine service points to attract people to visit.

According to foreign media reports, red telephone booths were once one of the most iconic objects with British culture, but with the increase in the number of mobile phone users, they are gradually abandoned. Recently, these red phone booths have been converted into coffee houses, dessert houses and shoeshine service points to attract people to visit.

It is reported that of the 669 existing telephone booths in the UK, 100 have been transformed by the Red Pavilion Company into micro-enterprises to provide job opportunities for the long-term unemployed.

According to the report, through the "telephone booth scheme", local governments and charities can acquire the ownership of such a telephone booth for only 1 pound (about 10 yuan).

It is understood that the scheme has achieved initial results in Brighton, where two abandoned telephone booths have been converted into coffee shops and ice cream shops. A committee in Scotland has transformed it into the smallest online cafe where people can surf the Internet and enjoy hot tea or coffee with an automatic coin box.
