Next week we are visiting London in a job related matter, I will have Thursday evening off and need some hints about what to do, preferable telephone related.

In advance.

Thank you for all hints.

A way out?

Could always get snapshots of the Post Office/BT tower, if you can see it through all the microwave transceivers and all, and I think there are street markets held in some places that might yield some vintage telephony equipment if you look careful enough, but that would involve being there during the day...

Not really phone related but the Vintage Wireless Museum in Dulwich is well worth the trek to south London. Phone a few days in advance to make an appointment. Early evening visits are not usually a problem.
