Located at 18-20 Abbotts Road SM3 9TB, this redbrick TE dates from the GPO era and serves the North Cheam area. It used to have FAIrlands telephone numbers until the late 1960s, but now has 0208-641 and 644 xxxx numbers plus some other Outer London numbers. A BT vehicle can be seen parked by the gate to the right of the photo, whilst there are mobile phone aerials mounted on the roof of the building.
