Elephant & Castle Town Centre

Elephant & Castle Town Centre
A new town centre is emerging at Elephant & Castle, with work now well underway to create a transformed environment for shoppers, retailers and residents with close to 1,000 new homes, an upgraded tube station, and a cutting-edge new campus for UAL’s London College of Communication. Castle Square, a shopping destination bringing together local traders around a public square has already opened.
Working with neighbours and partners, the new town centre will contribute to the rejuvenation of the wider area, breathing new life into what is already one of London’s most dynamic and vibrant places.
The redevelopment of Elephant & Castle Town Centre is being brought forward in three main phases:
- Phase 1 has already completed at Elephant Central and is managed by Get Living, incorporating 373 new homes available to rent alongside 278 student units, across three buildings. The residential offer is complemented by a Sainsbury’s supermarket, Gymbox, Little Bears Nursery and two independent restaurants TUPI and Pizzeria Pappagone.
- Phase 2 has started on the existing shopping centre site and is targeted to open in 2025.
- Phase 3 will commence on the site of the London College of Communication after the College has moved to its new building in 2026 and will take a further 4 years to complete by 2030.
