Block Management Elephant and Castle
As a specialist Block Management Company we are operating in Elephant and Castle.
History of Elephant and Castle
The two main roads discovered in Elephant, Old Kent Road and Newington Causeway, roughly follow the route of two Roman routes, Watling Street and Stan Street, which originally ran from London Bridge to Londinium.
For most of his life, the settlements on both sides of this junction were Newington and Walworth, two separate villages nestled between vegetable gardens, fields and wilderness. With the construction of new bridges over the River Thames in the 18th century, the area became an elegant Georgian suburb, and during the Victorian era industry and transportation led to population growth. Until the turn of the century, the area was inhabited by a diverse population, ranging from large Georgian single-family homes to rustic courtyards and traditional terraces.
Many areas were destroyed by bombing during World War II. After that, 50 hectares of territory had to be reprocessed. High-density block of flats and large toll road systems have replaced terraced streets and bombing sites. Instead of a dance hall in the heart of the neighborhood, a power plant called the Michael Faraday Memorial was built to honor the local scientist who pioneered the study of electricity. The Elephant and Castle shopping center was built in the early 1960s and is a European premiere. Since then, it has been one of the defining aspects of the neighborhood. It is being refurbished as part of the New Town Center and is one of the main elements of an ongoing regeneration program with the Elephant Park.

The Elephant and Castle Theater, Trocadero and the 4,000-seat South London Pop Palace featured contemporary stars such as Dan Leno, Marie Lloyd and the young Charlie Chaplin. Other entertainment venues include Dance Hall, Penny Gaff Theater and Royal Surrey Gardens Music Hall.
Things to do in Elephant and Castle
Elephant & Castle - Some work in progress. The double roundabout with several lanes has been completely redesigned to be accessible on foot and discreetly. By 2025, more than 3,000 new homes will be built, some of which are affordable. While one congregation is sent aside, the other is taken captive. Temporary grounds and obsolete spaces give rise to community gardens, temporary galleries and temporary container parks. With two major universities in the heart of London College of Communication and Southbank University, Elephant & Castle is a very student area with nightclubs and several bars, such as Corsica Studios and the famous Ministry of Sound. The recent addition of the Mercato Metropolitano, an Italian market that attracts mid-range restaurants, shows how gentrification is changing a corner once overlooked the SE1. The Colombian community in south London also gathers in the area, populating the numerous South American cafes that fill the beloved shopping center.
