What you need to know about Elephant and Castle

Elephant and Castle

Originally a roadside agricultural settlement set among fields, market gardens and open marshlands, Elephant and Castle got its name from a coaching inn popular among travellers during the 17th century. It is now a rapidly evolving area situated within the London Borough of Southwark known for Latin American cuisine and global street food at the Mercato Metropolitano food hall and the wide range of options for dining, entertainment, and leisure along Newington Butts. Due to recent real estate developments offering stylish flats and high-tech contemporary apartments at significantly cheaper prices than those in Southwark and Bermondsey, Elephant and castle has become a perfect destination for families and young professionals, further contributing to commercial and residential waste accumulation in the area. It is just 23 minutes away from the city centre via the A3 and is serviced by Elephant and Castle Tube Station.
