Elephant And Castle Shopping Centre

A charming example of 1960s brutalist architecture, this shopping centre (next to Elephant and Castle Roundabout) was until recently bright pink. Feels grim and very run-down inside; its age is really showing. Earmarked for demolition as part of the plan to regenerate Elephant and Castle. Frequently mistaken for a traffic island.

Has supermarkets, restaurants, and a drab bowling alley on the top floor. Also there's a secondhand bookshop called Tlön Books on the ground floor, opposite WHSmith.

A street market apparently happens outside, anyone know about this?
