The Elephant and Castle
Elephant and Castle
Nestled in the area since 1765, we are the go-to pub for all your pub needs. Join us for daytime pints and late night dancing. Our spacious open bar has plenty of space for giggling with friends and comfy velvet banquette seating when you need a bit of R&R or when it gets late, bring your dancing shoes and enjoy a night with us. At the Elephant & Castle we show all major sporting events from football to rugby and beyond, and our basement room is the best place in South East London for your late night party plans! We also host plenty of events from birthday celebrations to corporate drinks and family get togethers, so contact us today to see how the Elephant and Castle can help make your special occasion even more special.

Food you’ll crave, drinks you’ll love
At Elephant & Castle, we’re all about serving up the classics you love and small plates you can’t resist to share (or not). Grab a craft beer, a killer cocktail, or a glass of something fancy, and let the good times roll - one bite (and sip) at a time.
A hidden Fitzrovia favourite — if you know, you know.
Slip upstairs and discover our secret cocktail bar — a plush, low-lit escape from the bustle of central London. Think velvet booths, curated playlists, and bartenders who know their craft inside and out.
Our menu blends timeless classics with modern twists, featuring favourites like the French Martini, Smoked Old Fashioned, and seasonal house creations that surprise and delight. Whether you’re after something bold, bright, or beautifully balanced, our team will pour you the perfect drink — every time.
Ideal for dates, discreet meetups, or letting the evening unfold into something special.
