Elephant and Castle is turning into a truly exciting location for Londoners, with significant funding helping to regenerate the area and provide a host of new opportunities for locals.

The area is close to a number of the capital’s top attractions, including Westminster, the West End and the city centre. Its beneficial location has led to substantial gentrification in recent years, resulting in a master-planned redevelopment budgeted at £1.5 billion.

St George’s Cathedral is arguably the most historic landmark in the area. After opening in 1848, the structure has remained one of the most popular in the city. Generally serving the local population, a host of choirs and other performances. 

The building was bombed during World War 2, but it was successfully rebuilt to its old specifications, ensuring that the cathedral’s history and rich heritage was maintained.
