A London phone box has gone on the market for £45,000 - costing the same as an entire house in some parts of the UK.
Property prices have rocketed across the capital, with stories of people switching grand country mansions in exchange for two-bed London flats becoming a regular occurrence.
And whole villages in Wales going on the market for the same price tag as flats in the city.
Now, a red phone box is on sale for £45,000 - the same price as a house in other parts of the country.

The description reads: "These historic listed 'K2' red phone box were originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who also designed Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and Tate Modern.
"Historic England have listed to preserve these iconic red kiosks, and many have transformed them to coffee shops, libraries, museums, bakeries, florists and defibrillators.
"In 2006 the K2 telephone box was voted one of Britain's top 10 design icons. Between 1926 and 1935 1,700 examples of the K2 were installed with the total number of surviving K2 kiosks being only about 224 in the UK."
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the UK, you can buy a house for near enough the same price. A two-bed house in Shropshire is set to go up for auction this month and is currently listed at £50,000 for the entire property.
It may not be next to Waterloo station, but it does have a kitchen and a loo.
