Elephant & Castle tube station Elephant & Castle tube station Elephant & Castle is a London Underground station in the London Borough of Southwark in south London. It is on the Bank branch of the Northern line between Kennington and Borough stations, and is the southern terminus of the Bakerloo line, the next station being Lambeth North. The station is in both Travelcard Zones 1 and 2. The Northern line station was opened in 1890 by the City and South London Railway (C&SLR) while the Bakerloo line station was opened sixteen years later by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR). There is out-of-station interchange
Bakerloo line extension the project with a three-platform deep-level terminus and the need to purchase 14 further trains and build a new depot for them, meant that the project became unaffordable. After more than half a century of lying largely dormant, with only the occasional proposal to extend to Peckham in the 1970s, plans for a southern Bakerloo extension were re-awakened. In 2006 Ken Livingstone, the then Mayor of London, announced that within twenty years Camberwell could have a tube station. Transport for London has indicated that extensions, possibly to Camberwell, could play a part in the future transport strategy for South London
