Abstract

This report provides some insights and lessons learned into the processes of fighting for fair regeneration processes in London's Elephant and Castle, Southwark. After 55 years, Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre closed its doors for the final time on 24 September 2020. This was not without a fight. This was not without a range of local organisations working in partnership to mitigate the worst effects of the closure. Latin Elephant, a London based charity that promotes participation, engagement and inclusion of migrant and ethnic groups, and in particular Latin Americans, in processes of urban change and supporting BAME traders, residents and workers, has been a key player in this.
