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 over 1,000 new homes across the three phases, an upgraded tube station, and a cutting-edge new campus for UAL’s London College of Communication.
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 374 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 as well as other independent retailers.
- Phase 2 has started on the existing shopping centre site and is targeted to complete in 2025. Castle Square, a shopping destination bringing together local traders around a public square has already opened. This phase also includes the development of a further 485 residential homes across three towers with extensive associated amenity space, additional retail and leisure facilities and a twelve-storey university campus for UAL’s London College of Communication.
- Phase 3 will include the development of an additional 498 residential homes (including 116 social homes), which is expected to commence construction once the UAL has re-located to its new campus on the Phase 2 site, with an estimated completion targeted for 2030.
