The yard

Work somewhere
with a story.

Elephant & Castle Yard is a collection of characterful commercial units shaped for independent businesses, makers and modern teams.

Behind Westgate, a historic working courtyard has been carefully revived. Original brickwork, substantial timber structures and cobbled surfaces sit alongside practical, contemporary interiors. The result is workspace with identity—not another anonymous office.
