London Transport Journey Planner
Please note that from January 15th 2022 until mid-May 2022, there will be no Northern Line service between Moorgate and Kennington stations due to major works, meaning Elephant and Castle and Borough stations will not be directly accessible via the Northern Line.
You can still access Elephant and Castle station via the Bakerloo line, and we are a 16 minute walk from Kennington station, which will still be accessible via the Northern Line (Charing Cross branch).
We strongly advise checking your route on TfL’s Journey Planner in advance of your visit.
