Located at 279 Cranbrook Road (A123), this TE used to have VALentine numbers until the late 1960s. It now has 0208-518 and 554 numbers, plus some other Outer London numbers. The wording "TELEPHONE EXCHANGE" can be seen above the entrance door, although "Telecom Building" might be a more accurate description these days. "Telephone Exchange" might give an indication that it is a building where one can exchange a mobile phone, although, of course, that is not the case. Its postcode is IG1 4TL.
