More about this scene
This crowded region south of the river was once the heart of London cockney life. The Elephant and Castle, a great meeting place of thoroughfares, was termed a ‘ganglion of roads’ by Dickens in ‘Bleak House’.The squat old inn that gave it its name dominates the scene, and is offering hot and cold joints, chops and steaks to diners.
