Notice of works to elephant road
Please be advised our supply chain partner, will be commencing works to connect the district heating to the new development. The first stage of the works will require hoarding lines to the West (outside of the station) and East (Castle Square) side of Elephant Road to be erected. The hoarding will be formed of ‘heras’ temporary fencing panels.
Throughout the excavation phase of works taking place outside the Elephant and Castle Train Station, a temporary traffic light system will be implemented on Elephant Road to ensure pedestrian safety. The road will remain accessible for vehicles and cyclists, though the road width will be restricted to accommodate the hoarding and works taking place. The road will remain open throughout the process.
Relevant signage will be in place to inform the passing public of the works, and diverting pedestrians through Castle Square, ultimately increasing footfall in this area. Discussions are taking place with the Developer to finalise signage and hoarding design. This programme of works will take place between Monday 17th July, commencing with the set up of the hoarding line, through to 2024.
Please note that these works will take place during normal working hours (08:00-18:00 Monday to Friday) and should any additional working hours be granted, we will ensure to update this website page.

Construction Phases
Demolition works are now complete and Multiplex have taken possession of the site with the second phase targeted to be complete by 2026.
The access route through the site is closed from the overground station and pedestrians are to follow the enhanced pavement route along Elephant Road for access between the Rail and northern/Bakerloo Line Underground stations.
The first major construction works began in February 2022 with concrete piling ahead of building. Phase three will commence on the site of the London College of Communication after the College has moved to its new building within phase two.
