A lot has changed in Elephant and Castle of late, but tucked behind soaring skyscrapers, construction sites and busy roundabouts are clues to its curious history and current struggles…
From whales to pink elephants, raves in caves to salsa bars, modernist dreams to development nightmares, join Jane’s Walk London Walk Leaders Sophie and Chris, to peel back the layers of London’s best-known Elephant together, and add your stories, memories and imaginings into the mix.
This walk is part of Jane’s Walk London Festival 2024, a festival of free, citizen-led walking conversations taking place in London and around the world every year in May. JWL Festival will take place May 10-12, check the full lineup on.
Jane's Walk London is part of the Jane's Walk network, a global movement and a community-based approach to city building that uses volunteer-led walking conversations to make space for people to observe, reflect, share, question and re-imagine the places in which they live, work and play. Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) was a writer, urbanist and activist who championed the voices of everyday people in neighbourhood planning and city-building.
