The entrance to the National Rail station at Elephant & Castle, from the shopping centre, on 24th September 2020. This was the final day of the shopping centre which ceased trading and was closed for good by evening time in readiness for demolition and redevelopment of the area. When this centre was opened in 1965 it was the largest in Europe but had become very rundown and grubby in recent years and only a few shops were still open in its last few hours.
