Uncle (from the Realstar Group) at Newington Butts comprises 457 new homes. 278 of these have been marketed as Uncle apartments for private rent. At least 75 have been allocated to council tenants and 44 are being managed by Peabody as shared-ownership homes. The development also includes a café, gym, sky lounge and a permanent new home for the Southwark Playhouse which opened in January 2023.

Many locals – including senior Southwark politicians – had objected to the attempt to market the Elephant & Castle development by naming it after part of New York City. Now you all know we love our street food here at Secret London, so what’s better than a whole market dedicated to it, hey?! Mercato Metropolitano is open seven days a week and is home to 40 (!) different street food stalls and bars. While the first hall has a loose Italian theme, head deeper inside to find ribs from Prairie Fire BBQ, tacos from Hermanos Tacos, biodynamic wines from France, traditional Himalayan dumplings, vegan delights and other delectable dishes. At Saturday's Borough, Bankside & Walworth Community Council meeting Delancey director Stafford Lancaster confirmed that the company is seeking a new name for the scheme: "It will no longer be called Tribeca Square," he said, to applause from the audience. Walworth Square is a new public space (at the junction of Walworth Road and Wansey Street) that opened in 2018. Part of Lendlease’s Elephant Park development, the square is also home to the new Southwark Memorial.

For Scotland, 2011 data is shown (update coming soon, the Scottish census was delayed by a year unlike the rest of the UK). He adds: “In the Harwich layer, most of the piles are temporary segmental cased, other than the bearing piles. For the secant wall, we’re driving segmented casing down to seal off this Harwich layer. Plunge columns and the top down slab will then support the tower above, while excavation continues below in the ITH. Large contiguous piles are taking the load off the secant wall around the outside of the box. Construction sequence

East is a new, permanent community and enterprise hub on East Street. Created by Hatch, one of the UK’s leading community enterprise charities, this new venture includes a combined co-working and training space; a community café and a retail and event space for local designers and community groups. Add in the fact that they offer a lunchtime deal which nets you a margherita for just a fiver between 12-5PM from Monday to Friday, and you can see why this writer is one happy chappy whenever he’s here. 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. Work began last autumn on the much-delayed development previously known as Oakmayne Plaza and more recently branded Tribeca Square. Overall, across the Elephant and Castle area, there are currently 26 projects that form the core of the regeneration programme (either complete, underway or in the pipeline). These are in addition to the ‘early housing’ developments built to rehouse former residents of the Heygate estate.

The Signal Building is a 22 storey residential development on Newington Causeway, completed in 2014. It includes 38 residential units and 366 sqm of commercial floorspace . Other partners working on the project include development manager Delancey, employer’s agent QS, principal designer Gardiner & Theobald, structural engineer WSP, services engineer Horea Lea, façade engineer Inhabit, landscape architect Gillespies and asset monitoring provider Socotec. All ground and piling works on phase two of the Elephant and Castle town centre redevelopment scheme are scheduled for completion this month. Fielding Street, London, SE17 3HD. 9.

Two types of piles were installed above and adjacent to the Bakerloo line tunnels: secant and contiguous, using similar rotary bored techniques. Totalling more than 400 piles for the ITH, their depths ranged from 14m up to 50m, with the biggest diameters being 1,800mm. Their function is to provide support to the structure and protect the existing LUL assets. The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). A new town centre is being built in the Elephant and Castle area in London’s Southwark borough. The regeneration project will create a major mixed-use development, which is being delivered in multiple phases.The Castle is a new Southwark Council leisure centre located next to St Mary’s Churchyard. It includes a six lane, 25 metre swimming pool, a sports hall and a fully equipped gym and indoor cycle studio. This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. The developer, Lendlease has reinvigorating the area with a number of new green spaces. Lendlease has retained over 100 mature trees and planted hundreds more and is committed to making the development one of the most environmentally sustainable urban regeneration projects in the world. Lendlease is a participant in the Climate Positive Development Programme, which means Elephant Park will be climate positive by the time it completes in 2025. Elephant Park also includes a combined heat and power plant, the Energy Hub, to enable the delivery of net zero-carbon heating and hot water to all the new homes. These guys also have a taproom and a 50-seater beer garden – which overlooks the leafy Pelier Park – as well as regular pub quizzes and Sunday roasts to boot too. What’s not to love?

Hotel Elephant is a not-for-profit company, established in 2009 to support the borough’s artists and makers. It provides affordable workspace and runs a programme of education projects, exhibitions, events and film screenings. Find them on Spare Street – a row of converted railway arches named in honour of Walworth artist Austin Osman Spare. Drawing Room was a free, public art gallery dedicated to contemporary drawing. The gallery moved from Bermondsey to a disused building in Rodney Place in 2018 where it hosted exhibitions, talks and workshops. It is due to move again, in 2023, to a new, permanent home in London Square, Bermondsey.

They also do wine tastings and even oyster platters here too, so you can see why we’ve added it to this roundup of the best things to do in Elephant and Castle then… Natural wine – or wine made with as little technological intervention as possible from source to bottle – is all the rage now, and for good reason. It supposedly doesn’t give you a hangover and is predominantly sourced from small-scale producers – what’s not to love? A month later, 450 of a total of 553 main bearing piles, outside of the ITH, had been completed, while in the ITH, 250 of the 408 large diameter piles had been installed. Cllr Fiona Colley, Southwark Labour's cabinet member for regeneration, had publicly urged the developers to think again about the name. Elephant Square is a major new public space. Transport for London has reconfigured the road layout at the former northern roundabout, turning it into a peninsula and creating a new public square.
