Elephant and Castle ---- Walworth North

AFAIK Elephant & Castle is/was the name of a pub in the area


WRONG !

The region got it's name from the Palace (formerly on the spot where the
roundabout with the tardis on it is) of the Princess of Castille "Infanta de
Castille"

Yer average Walworth geezer (Charlie Chaplain's GGGGGG Grandad et al)
couldn't pronounce "Infanta de Castille" and it so became "Elephant &
Castle"


not just tube stations - the Green Man roundabout, the Pawleyne Arms as a
bus destination, etc.


Pawleyne Arms ! biggup da Penge posse !

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaar !

Izerntit !
