While Blackfriars may not be the ideal London terminus for all Wimbledon
Loop passengers, they do have a wide choice by one change, at Wimbledon to
Waterloo or LUL District Line, at Sutton or Herne Hill to Victoria, at Tulse
Hill to London Bridge, at Elephant to LUL Northern or Bakerloo Line (though
this interchange desperately needs improvement), and at Blackfriars to LUL
Circle Line and to Thameslink.


There are big changes afoot at Elephant & Castle as part of the
regeneration scheme for the area which should certainly improve things
for those interchanging there - the existing railway station will be
demolished and replaced with something new and better, the tatty
shopping centre will also be demolished as will the large Heygate
estate to the south (that architectural masterpiece that you can see
from the high up platforms at E&C), the road system will be remodelled
so as to stop E&C just being a big gyratory system, most of the
subways will go, and intriguingly:

"The Northern Line sub-station will be replaced and a new link between
the Bakerloo and Northern Lines created. Pedestrians will be able to
access the tube stations from the Civic Square, through improved
entrances."

I don't quite know what form that new link will take.

Whilst it may be hard to believe that the grotty old Elephant might
become a nice place various works have been under way for a while now
and the regeneration scheme is going ahead. More he
