A local's guide to Elephant & Castle
My neighbourhood is more than just the best base you could have for your visit to London.
Walworth road alone has every amenity you may - Supermarkets, Boots, M&S, Carphone Warehouse, a post-office, and some really good charity shops. But for some neighbourhood gems... Read on.

Rude N Boomin
Browning StreetThe friendly local cafe across the street with nice smoothies and sandwiches.
A 15 minutes bus-ride away, one of the coolest areas of London. From cultural icons like the Tate Modern, National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall and the BFI through street performers, food markets, the used book market under the bridge in front of the BFI and all the way to tourist points like the London Eye, Aquarium, and Westminster houses of parliament. Keep walking and you're in the West End or Covent Garden... (Ok, if you want to get to those to begin with, the tube will take you there more quickly).
