My Chase Evans
Elephant & Castle, London SE17
Elephant and Castle is a dynamic South London district within the Borough of Southwark. It covers an area of 122 hectares south of the Thames and north of Kennington and Walworth neighbourhoods. The area is identified with a vast, central city streetscape built around a busy junction adjacent to Northern and Bakerloo line Underground stations, the London College of Communications and Metropolitan Tabernacle church. The old Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre was closed in September 2020 and today the district's landscape is punctuated by tall buildings such as the Strata and One the Elephant.
Devastated during the Second World War, Elephant and Castle went through decades of inadequate planning and redevelopment which prioritised heavy road traffic over pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users.
Identified in the Mayor’s London Plan of March 2015 as an investment opportunity area, the district's re-development includes the Elephant and Castle junction and Shopping Centre, the Heygate Estate, Walworth Road, the Pullens Estate, West Square, St George’s Circus, the Enterprise Quarter bounded by London Road, Borough Road and Newington Causeway and the Rockingham Estate.
The 1.5bn regeneration project is well underway and the area attracts steady investors, home buyers, young professionals and students. Once complete, the district will have over 2,500 new homes, at least 50 new shops and restaurants, new open green spaces (Elephant Park is already open to the public) local schools and over 6,000 new jobs.
Transport connections from Elephant & Castle are superb with many different busses running through the area, a Tube station serviced by both the Northern and Bakerloo line and with a rail station for Thameslink and Southeastern rail services.
The iconic Strata Tower is also the home of Chase Evans’ Head Office and Property Management. As the recommended letting agent for the landmark residential in Elephant and Castle, One The Elephant, Chase Evans has an onsite office at No 5. St Gabriel Walk, London SE1.
