Of course, the original reason that a Police Box was chosen as his
"disguise" in the original 1960's episode was that it could land
almost anywhere in London and not look out of place...

Wasnt it supposed to adapt its outward appearence depending on where it
landed. However that bit had failed so it was stuck as a police box.

That's right. It got stuck that way in the first series.
