Beckenham Telephone Exchange
Beckenham Telephone Exchange
Situated in Kelsey Park Road BR3 6LJ, this redbrick TE would appear to date from the 1930s when several TEs in Greater London were built. It has the code LSBEC and provides telephone and broadband services in Beckenham plus Eden Park and Elmers End nearby. Until the late 1960s, BECkenham numbers were used but this TE now has 0208-650 and 658 xxxx numbers. Mobile phone aerials can be seen on the roof of this building.
