An entrepreneur has successfully transformed a red phone box into a mini coffee kiosk during the coronavirus crisis. Lily Deluca, of Wimbledon, purchased the booth on Tunsgate in Guildford last year before opening her new business, Lily London, in December. Having previously been involved in exporting coffee from Brazil to the UK, she said she decided to use her knowledge “to do something different” during lockdown. Ms Deluca runs the kiosk with barista Achilleas Papakitsos, 30, who is originally from Greece but lives in Guildford.
