What's it like to live in Elephant and Castle?
Elephant and Castle is in the middle of one of London's biggest regeneration projects. The old shopping centre has been replaced by new developments, and the area is being reshaped with modern apartments, a new campus for London College of Communication, and improved public spaces. The Latin American community remains strong, with excellent Colombian and Ecuadorian restaurants. Two tube lines and National Rail provide exceptional connectivity. Rents here offer Zone 1 access at Zone 2 prices — particularly in the newer builds that are abundant in the area.
