Welcome to The Elephant and Castle, your local pub in London
At The Elephant and Castle, our skilled chefs won’t settle for anything less than the highest quality pub dishes with flavours so good that you can’t help but come back for more. So, we’re delighted to share our secret for autumn and winter: Pies.
Served under creamy mash or buttery pastry, our delicious, hearty pies are unbelievably tasty, like our award-winning Steak and Nicholson’s Pale Ale Pie. Of course, there’s so many more pies and dishes to eat – view our full menu and take a seat.
Complement your traditional British pub dish with a perfectly poured cask ale, a glass of fine wine, or even something from our extensive range of whisky and gin. Whatever your favourite tipple, it’s waiting inside – why not come on in?

A unique city centre pub with a rich history
Our pub is a favourite among journalists and historic front pages adorn some of our walls. The name Elephant and Castle may derive from a connection to Catherine of Aragon, whose title of 'Infanta de Castille y Aragon' could have been anglicised. Alternatively, it may be linked to the Cutlers' company of the City of London whose emblem is a war elephant with a howdah on its back.
