Elephant and Castle’s £4bn 'glow-up'

from The Standard

Elephant and Castle, tucked beneath London’s Southbank, is set for a major transformation. Long defined by its busy gyratory system and ageing brutalist buildings, the area is now at the centre of a £4 billion regeneration aiming to transform it into a desirable destination in its own right.In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick is joined by The Standard’s business editor Jonathan Prynn to explore the development plans, the changes that are already in place, and whether this long-awaited “glow up” will be enough to attract visitors to the area. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
