Elephant & Castle gets its name from the old pub. The pub itself is not that old, since the original pub has been destroyed. Now, there's a huge roundabout with modern art piece commemorating Michael Faraday. Some people say that this area is the most unpleasant place in Central London, but there is something interesting here as well. The huge soviet-style estates were recently taken down and modern space age buildings are starting to appear with some signs of gentrification.
