More about Elephant and Castle

Greater London, England

Elephant and Castle sits at a busy junction where the A205 meets the A23, turning transport chaos into a chance to find something local to do. The Walworth Town Hall Community Space has been holding regular gatherings for years, proving that even a spot known for its trains can offer quiet corners for conversation. There are usually markets popping up near the station and live music drifting from venues along the road. We keep all these bits of life organised so you don't have to wander aimlessly on a Saturday morning.
