Elephant and Castle station

Elephant and Castle station in Elephant and Castle in the London Borough of Southwark, England consists of a main line railway station, serving various suburban stations within south London, and a tube station. The tube station is on the Bank branch of the Northern Line, between Kennington and Borough. It is the southern terminus for the Bakerloo Line, the next station being Lambeth North.

The tube station has two ticket halls, one for each line on differing sides of the roundabout. The Northern line building has been demolished and rebuilt. It is not yet open - passengers are forced to walk through internal tunnels to get to the Bakerloo platform and then use the lifts to get up to street level. It is scheduled to reopen in December 2003. Until then, the mainline station is not physically connected to the tube station. Services from the mainline station are run by Thameslink and Connex.

The Bakerloo Line hall was opened on August 5, 1906, and a tunnel interchange to the Northern Line platforms provided a few days later on August 10, 1906. It was closed between November 9, 1996 and July 14, 1997.
