On the day that Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre closes before its demolition and redevelopment, 1960s architecture before doors are locked for the final time after 55 years, on 24th September 2020, in south London, England. The much-criticised architecture of the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre was opened in 1965, built on the bomb damaged site of the former Elephant & Castle Estate, originally constructed in 1898. The centre was home to restaurants, clothing retailers, fast food businesses and clubs where south Londoners socialised and met lifelong partners.
