Elephant Families

When London’s Elephant and Castle shopping centre was demolished, it uprooted the community that made it their home.

A wave of regeneration is hitting London’s working-class boroughs. South of the river, the demolition of Elephant & Castle’s shopping centre has uprooted the community who made it their own. As they navigate an uncertain future, they carry with them the legacy of a place that once felt like home.
