UK - London - Elderly Londoner and regeneration hoarding

An elderly man walks bent past a regeneration project hoarding image at Elephant & Castle, London borough of Southwark. The older generation sees their neighbourhood renew, they have to live among disruption and change. Southwark Council’s development partner, Lend Lease is regenerating over 28 acres across three sites at the heart of Elephant & Castle, in what is the last major regeneration opportunity in zone 1 London. The vision for the £1.5 billion regeneration is to build on the area’s strengths and vibrant character in order to re-establish Elephant & Castle as one of London’s most flourishing urban quarters. The Elephant & Castle regeneration is of a scale rarely seen in central London and includes almost 3,000 new homes, plus office, retail, community, leisure and restaurant space.
