Title
Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre in Newington Butts
Description
Close-up view of an entrance to Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre, Newington Butts. The railing-lined walkway from street level gives entry to the three-storey Centre and is a route to Elephant and Castle railway station, as indicated by the British Rail sign. The walkway also leads down to sub-pavement level shops. Car parking and pedestrian subways run beneath the roundabout. The Shopping Centre, designed by Boissevain & Osmond for the Willets Group, was opened in March 1965 and was the first covered shopping mall in Europe. A sign for Hannibal House is also visible, a sixteenth-storey office block which forms part of Boissevain & Osmond's 1960-65 scheme for redevelopment of the Elephant and Castle. The Shopping Centre is earmarked for demolition as part of the £4 billion redevelopment plans for the Elephant and Castle, due for completion in 2025.
