The neighbourhood is diverse, bustling and safe. We have never had any problems, but as with any new city, we would recommend if you are travelling alone to consider taking a taxi if arriving late at night. <br /><br />Food:<br />Elephant & Castle is one of London's most diverse neighbourhoods, with a strong Colombian contingent (very useful for tasty and cheap food).

I am an Oxford-born, West Country-raised, drinks industry professional, my partner Jackie is a studying osteopath and working masseuse.

We live together in a large house and enjoy having guests. I used to be a keen couchsurfing host, but we now have a nice double room available so thought we should switch to AirBnb.

We both enjoy good food (Jackie worked as a chef at michelin level), drinks (I was a rum-loving bartender), music (we met at BLOC festival, and the house has a saxophone, trumpet, and piano), and books (of course).
