About Elephant & Castle
- Elephant & Castle takes its name from a pub that stood at the junction since at least the seventeenth century, though the origin of the name is disputed — one theory suggests it derives from a corruption of "Infanta de Castile", a reference to a Spanish princess. The area has been the subject of one of the largest regeneration projects in London, with the demolition of the Heygate Estate and the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre and their replacement with new mixed-use developments. The Imperial War Museum, housed in the former Bethlem Royal Hospital (Bedlam), is one of the most important museums in London.
