Walworth
Walworth is the bit of south London that estate agents like to rebrand as Elephant and Castle, since the roundabout next door got the Tube station, the regeneration money and the name. Its old public wash house became a Tibetan Buddhist centre and then a Nike skatepark, which squeezes the last hundred years of inner London into one listed building. The Labour Party's former headquarters on Walworth Road now takes overnight guests by the bunk. Queen Victoria once came here to see the zoo, and the zoo, unlike the residents, didn't stick around.
