From 05:00 tomorrow, Sunday 6 December, the Elephant and Castle northern roundabout will be removed and switched to two-way traffic, as part of the Road Modernisation Plan.


The work will start at 22:00 tonight, Saturday 5 December and temporary traffic changes will be in place until completed. The following permanen changes will apply to all traffic:

? No left turn from Newington Causeway onto New Kent Road

? No right turn from New Kent Road onto Newington Causeway

? No U-turns will be possible at the junction


Improvement work will continue in the area until summer 2016 to create new pedestrian crossings and new dedicated cycle routes.


For full details, including a map of the new layout, please visit tfl.gov.uk/elephant

In short theyre just taking out the round about. My interpretation is slightly diff to the above...

From TFL weekend travel email:

Elephant and Castle - From 05:00 on Sunday, the Elephant and Castle Roundabout will be removed and switched to two-way traffic, as part of the Road Modernisation Plan. The work will start at 22:00 on Saturday and temporary traffic changes will be in place until completed. There will be no left turn from Newington Causeway onto New Kent Road, no right turn from New Kent Road onto Newington Causeway and no U-turns will be possible at the junction.


Hope this helps :-)

Warning - traffic heading towards Elephant from Camberwell / Dulwich was extremely congested this morning because of the work KalamityKel mentions above...and that was at 7am.


Hopefully these problems will only temporary whilst work to remove the northern roundabout continues.


These are major structural changes to this route in for all road users. Further information and a really helpful .pdf map can be found here: https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/elephant-and-castle

I might be able to find out from the TFL site but was the E&C area supposed to be working properly under the new scheme today, or have we just entered another stage of the hellish and seemingly never-ending rebuilding? This morning the traffic down Walworth Road was the worst its been in ages and if anything the bit near E&C station looked further from completion than it did last week. Coupled with traffic tailback from Camberwell to Peckham (seemingly caused by something on the other side of Camberwell, heading towards Oval) the 12 bus from Dulwich to Piccadilly Circus took 2 hours this morning.
Guess this is the new 'steady state' of things at Elephant. Personally, I think it's good that they've sealed off South London. With no tube, buses, or car transport, we are one step closer to declaring independence from the rest of the Capital.

Echoing above, was absolutely solid almost back to Camberwell this morning when I passed through. The have opened the intersection to two way traffic, with temporary traffic lights that seems to be on very long intervals.


At this stage, I really can't see how traffic will flow through the new design.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
