One The Elephant, the 37-storey tower on St Gabriel Walk, has 284 homes, and the development helped pay for The Castle, the council's leisure centre beside St Mary's Churchyard.
Towers where the Heygate and the shopping centre stood
The Heygate estate, 1,214 council homes built in 1971-74, came down between 2011 and 2014. Its land is now Elephant Park: around 3,000 homes including Trafalgar Place, with Lendlease's share due to finish in 2026 and one last plot, H1, sold in 2024 and still to be built. Get Living is replacing the old shopping centre with a new town centre, which the council's overview puts at nearly 1,000 homes for rent, 35% of them affordable by habitable room. Its first phase, Elephant Central, has been open since 2017 with 374 homes for rent and 278 student homes, and the council's regeneration partnership said in August 2026 that the new town centre would open in the autumn.
On Newington Butts, Uncle has 457 homes: 278 for private rent and 179 low-cost homes for rent and shared ownership, delivered by Peabody. The postcode there is SE11, but the council is still Southwark.
A new-build flat usually has a built-in single oven under the hob. In a tower the racks, trays and runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately while the cavity, fan cover and door glass are cleaned by hand in the kitchen. The door is split where its design allows.
What build-to-rent means at move-out
A build-to-rent block is owned by one company that lets every flat itself, usually with a management team on site, and Uncle's private flats and the town centre homes are let this way. Check what your tenancy says about the oven before you leave. If you run the building, the invoice can be made out to the company, with photos for the checkout file, and keys for an empty flat collected by arrangement.
St George's ward, which takes in One The Elephant and Newington Butts, had 3,647 households at the 2021 Census. 40.5% rented from the council or a housing association, 31.2% rented privately and 22.3% owned, while 5.8% were in shared ownership. 79.3% lived in a purpose-built block of flats.

Weekday-only parking zones round the Elephant
Southwark's zone map puts One The Elephant, Newington Butts and the town centre in the Borough zone, C2, Elephant Park in Walworth, M1, and the Strata tower in West Walworth, E. The council's zone list gives all three the same hours: Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 6.30pm. A Saturday or Sunday visit avoids zone hours, at the weekday price. If your building has rules for contractors or a loading bay, tell us when you book.
Questions about ovens at the Elephant
My oven is built into the units in a new tower. How is it cleaned?
The racks, trays and side runners come out and are soaked and cleaned separately, and the cavity, fan cover and door glass are degreased by hand in the kitchen. Some teams have a heated tank on the van and use it when they can park close; otherwise everything is done in the kitchen. The price is the same either way, so ask when you book.
Is Uncle on Newington Butts in Lambeth because of its SE11 postcode?
No. Uncle's SE11 postcode is in Southwark's St George's ward, and the streets round it are in zone C2. Some SE11 streets are in Lambeth; for those, see Kennington.
Can you come at the weekend?
Yes, seven days a week at the weekday price, and C2, M1 and E are not controlled on Saturdays or Sundays.
How long does a single oven take?
About 90 minutes. A double is about 2 hours, at £110.
What customers tell us
Brilliant clean, my oven looks like brand new. A 5 star clean.
I would certainly recommend this service, very efficient and good value for money. The young man did a great job and even cleaned the kitchen floor. Thank you.
Once again a great job guys, I will see you in a couple of months.
