Welcome to a tiny spot of England — right in the heart of Covington, Louisiana! Located at the corner of Florida and Rutland Streets, where Anglophilia thrives in full bloom, this cache celebrates all things British: from red call boxes to scones, fine teas, and Union Jack pride.
You’re seeking a rather unconventional container hidden in plain sight — a red cast-iron London call box, roughly 4 inches tall and 2 inches square. It's tucked safely inside the boot of a real London cab that has retired under the Louisiana Spanish Moss but still proudly serves the King.
This is a cache within a cache: Inside the call box is a mini log-holding capsule. To open the box, use the provided 50p British coin located nearby. Simply unscrew the bottom plate using the coin to retrieve the capsule. Please replace the coin and cache exactly as you found them to preserve the experience for others.
While you're here, take a moment to browse the local eateries and tea houses. Whether you fancy a spot of Earl Grey, a warm scone, or a sit-down High Tea, the folks around here have been sharing English culture in Covington for over a decade.
