This TE in Peterborough Road has the code WRPGRN, and provides telephone and broadband services to 15,348 residential and 1,216 non-residential premises in Fulham and Parsons Green. It used to have RENown telephone numbers until the late 1960s, but now has 0207-384, 731, 736 xxxx plus some other Inner London numbers. Above the grey entrance door is a GviR cypher with the year 1938 inscribed, the year presumably it was either built or opened for telephone service.
