UNCLE Deptford

Elephant & Castle sits at the south-east corner of Zone 1 on the Tube map, but that doesn’t mean that it comes with Zone 1 rental prices. It’s a vibrant place to live, with excellent transport links into the city centre and further afield, and it’s undergoing a period of transformation at present with the long-awaited redevelopment of the shopping centre.

Elephant and Castle is an area in Southwark, Greater London, to the south of the River Thames. While the diverse urban area of the present day has plenty to offer, the history of Elephant and Castle is worth exploring too.
