WELCOME WELCOME TO ELEPHANT PARK Lendlease welcomes you to Elephant Park and a bold new vision for living in the heart of London. Elephant Park is a new residential development designed around a leafy landscape that boasts a brand new park. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the convenience of Zone 1 London as well as a lifestyle that brings you closer to nature and your community in a vibrant city neighbourhood. West Grove is the exciting second chapter of Elephant Park – at its point stands The Highwood – the tallest building currently planned for the neighbourhood. The new homes and facilities are designed from the inside out to enable you to access everything you need to live, work, rest and play in comfort and in style. Tranquil courtyards, vibrant shopping streets and a flexible, dynamic club space create a place with the community at its heart, where there are ample opportunities for social interaction and relaxation. Elephant Park is a world-leading development and one of only 17 projects worldwide that are part of the Climate Positive Development Programme, a ground-breaking global initiative to shape the future of sustainable urban development. Through our involvement with the scheme, we are tackling the most challenging issues London is facing with clever green design, cutting-edge technology and unusual partnerships with like-minded organisations and experts. Elephant & Castle is an area rich in history with an established local community and a unique character. We aim to build on these strengths to create a place that not only enhances the local area but will also set the standard for future developments around the world.
