Located at the junction of Great Scotland Yard and Scotland Place, there is a spot where a red phone box is placed where Harry and Mr. Weasley used it as a visitor entrance to enter to the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter: The Order of Phoenix. Too bad the red box is actually only a prop where it was removed after the filming is done.
