Anecdotally, the GPO engineer would install the phone in the easiest place for him, which was often a drafty hallway rather than a cosy living room. When I was a child the hall was the normal place to see a phone, perhaps we just expected it to be there, and it was almost decadent to expect it in a more convenient place.

in the film 'Here come the Huggets' there is a great sequence of where to put the phone with the engineers always finding fault with each location (too damp, too much cable) ending with 'we'll put it here in the hall where its handy.
