Also the Police Museum that used to be in Bow St had one, but I don't think that's still there either - pictures of any of these boxes are welcome. Finally, another one that still exists resides at the Police Training School in Hendon. Again, if anyone does have pictures, I'd be really interested. Thanks.
1)Earl's Court, London.
This is actually a new box, built only a few years ago. The plan at the time was to bring back the Police Box as a hi-tech surveillance unit. This one's job is to keep watch over Earl's Court Tube Station on Earl's Court road - note the CCTV camera mounted on the roof. Since no more have been built, it seems the plan to repopulate the Metropolitan District with Police Boxes has been abandoned.To get to it, take the tube to Earls Court, which is on the District line. If you're coming from St. Pancras, get on the Northern Line southbound and change to the District line westbound at Monument station. The box is literally just outside the doorway to the station.
2) National Tramway Museum, Crich, Derbyshire.
This is the first place that I ever saw
a real Police Box. I live in the city of Derby and I grew up in the area
that this box is situated in. The museum is the best place in the UK to
see old trams in working order. In July 1983, this Police Box was added
to the 1930's street furniture that make up this authentic outdoor street
scene through which the trams drive. I had no knowledge of it's arrival
until my Dad drove us past the museum one summer afternoon in 1983. 
Aged 12 then, I did a double take as we rounded the bend in our car that
takes you past the front of the museum - there by the roadside was the
TARDIS! I begged my Dad to stop the car and I ran to photograph the box.
I won't embarrass myself by showing the pictures of me as a salivating
12 year old, so instead here's a recent one that the museum themselves
recently sent me.
They acquired the box by placing an advert in 'Police Review' magazine.
The Metropolitan Police offered them this box for free, along with a Police
Post. The Box is a Mk2 and is the most TARDIS like box I know of.
To get to the museum by car, get off the M1 at Junction 28 and get on
the A38 for Derby. Get off at the exit marked 'Ripley'. Turn right at
the roundabout and follow the A610 to Crich. The Museum is situated at
the top of the village. Photo (c) Crich Tramway Museum.
3) Avoncroft Museum of Buildings, Bromsgrove
Situated just south of the town of Bromsgrove
in the West Midlands, the Avoncroft museum of buildings is also home to
the National Telephone Kiosk Collection. You can get there by leaving
the M42 at Junction 1 or the M5 at either Junction 4 or Junction 5. If
you're coming off the M42 you join the A38 bypass for Bromsgrove about
3 miles north of Avoncroft.Get on the A38 bypass southbound follow signs
for Avoncroft for 3 miles. The museum is off to your left on the brow
of a hill.
If you're coming in on the M5, junction 4 joins the A38 slightly further
up from where the M42 does. If you're coming in from 
junction 5 of the M5, you join the A38 slightly south of the museum and
so need to head north up the A38 just a few miles. At the top of the hill
approaching Bromsgrove, the museum is off to your right. When you arrive
at the entrance to the museum, you can see the area that houses the National
Telephone Kiosk collection to your right, with the Police Box sticking
up over the perimeter fence. Admission is £4.50 for adults, £2.25
for under 16s. The collection
has two Police Boxes and a Police Post. One of the Police Boxes is of
the garden shed variety (pictured below) whilst the other is a MK1 variation
from Scotland. 
You
can tell this because of the St. Andrew's ambulance badge (as opposed
to the St. Johns Ambulance badge) which is on the lower left hand panel
looking at the front. But that's the only clue as to where the box
originated. The lower left hand panel is white contains a first aid kit.
You break the glass to get at the key for this panel.
I managed to get the museum curator
to open the box for me so that I could photograph the box's interior,
which housed the usual desk, notice board, stool, telephone and a police
issue flask. You can clearly see the hinged windows and the white washed
interior walls which helped to reflect light at night, as the box was
lit by a single bulb in it's ceiling.
All three examples are in excellent condition as are all the kiosks on
show there. The rest of the collection is made up of examples of every
BT/GPO telephone kiosk ever used in the UK since their first introduction
in the 1920's.
4)Wetherby Police Station, West Yorkshire.
This Excellent Mark2 has only
just come to my attention (November '99) and what a specimen it is! I
thought I knew all the TARDIS like police boxes left in Britain but this
is Yorkshire's biggest secret!
Wetherby is on the A1 about 12 miles west of York. The box sits just inside
the yard of Wetherby Police Station. The pic was sent to me by Tim Neal,
who also sent the one below that's based in Leicestershire. I'm really
grateful to him as it took a bit of effort for him to get the picutres
to me.
5) The Police Training School, Hendon, London.
I'd been told that this box still existed by several visitors to the site, but no-one could offer me a piccy. Also, when I received the pictures of the 'Police Box Graveyard', I was aware that there was a design of Metropolitan box that I knew nothing about - a mark3, I'm guessing, with a much simpler concrete casting. It has three windows on each side and only one on the front apart from the phone flap.It look like a much later design ethic so it could be late 40's or even early 50's.
After someone described this box to me as 'having windows all over the place', I thought maybe this box was one of those in the graveyard photo and it was!
The picture comes from Mark Campbell, who had to brave skidding squad cars and trainees battling through assault courses to get the photo.

5) Almondbury, (near Huddersfield), West Yorkshire.
This box was brought to my attention by Jonathan Hufnagel-Giba from California in the US. He's as crazy about Police Boxes as I am and he found this example on a web site by the local primary school. It's not TARDIS like, but it certainly worth a mention, as few wooden boxes are still standing in the UK.
6) Sheffield City Centre, Yorkshire.
Following my query
about a box similar to the Almondbury one still standing outside the townhall
in Sheffield City Centre, Graham Briddon has sent me these two pictures
of it, confirming that it still survives to this day.
I remember it being green in colour, but I don't recollect the cream trim,
which looks rather fetching. Were all Sheffield police boxes this colour?
As Graham points out, the second photo is particularly amusing, as it
seems to show that this police box really is bigger on the inside...and
just Who is the mayor?
7) Scarborough sea front, Yorkshire.
Mike Ramsay has contributed this shot of the Scarborough sea front box that I have heard so much about but as yet not had a decent picture of it -his mum took the picture and had it made into a set of drinks coasters for him. Mike thinks it's his mother's way at poking fun at her son who still watches Doctor Who at 30. I know the feeling...
8) The Galleries of Justice, Nottingham.
The "Galleries of Justice" in Nottingham city centre is basically a museum devoted to the history of law enforcement. The rear of the museum has a cafe accessible from the street that you don't have to pay the £7 entrance fee to get into. Anyway in the yard of the cafe behind all the garden furniture that make up the al fresco area to this establishment, is this original Sunderland Police Box. Although missing one of it's doors, it's in very good condition and is important because it's probably the last box existing from the first network of Police Boxes set up in this country (see my Police Box history and the Police Box graveyard for other pictures of those first Boxes).
