All of the London is relatively safe and Elephant & Castle is in no way among the worst areas, and IMHO wasn't even before Heygate estate had been sealed for demolition.. Often going to Corsica Studios nightclub just under the rail arches, so been around the place in night plenty of times, never had any problems, or seen any.

Funny. I saw it from outside the Walbrook building near Cannon Street station this evening and all three were spinning. Made me glad.

I've always loved Strata, it looks so futuristic...I used to live in E&C, but I left when its construction had just begun. Strata adds so much value to this sad & ugly area.

ps: great diagrams TSB
