The typical property in SE17
SE17 covers Walworth, Elephant & Castle south and Newington, an inner south London Southwark outcode with the Elephant & Castle regeneration, the East Street Market and the Walworth Road high street.
Area summary
SE17 covers Walworth (the principal area), Elephant & Castle south, Newington (north Walworth). The Elephant & Castle area has undergone substantial regeneration through the 2010s and 2020s, including the demolition of the Heygate Estate (replaced by Elephant Park, a Lendlease scheme) and the redevelopment of the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre. Housing is mixed: substantial council and ex-council stock around the Aylesbury Estate (one of the largest in London, also under regeneration), Victorian and Edwardian terraced stock on the Walworth Road, and substantial 21st-century apartment blocks along the Elephant & Castle and Old Kent Road corridors.
Elephant & Castle (Bakerloo, Northern, National Rail) and Kennington (Northern) stations serve the outcode. The A201 / A2 run through.
