Red Elephant is Saved

Plans to destroy the popular Elephant and Castle landmark have been scrapped after Southwark council decided to rehouse the 6ft figure in the heart of the planned £1.5bn development

One of the most iconic ­statues in London has been saved from the scrap heap.

The Elephant and Castle figure has stood guard over the dated south London shopping ­centre of the same name since the 1960s.

Now Southwark council has pledged to preserve the 6ft red elephant, despite having given the go-ahead to an ambitious £1.5bn regeneration scheme that would see the centre demolished.

The statue will be rehoused at the heart of the new development, which will include 5,200 homes and a new shopping area.

A council spokesman said: “The statue was due to be ­removed and broken up. But it is such an iconic piece of street furniture that we know holds a special place in local ­residents’ hearts.”
