There are elephants all over South London, mainly related to the nearby Elephant & Castle area of the city, initially named after a coaching inn established to offer a welcome retreat for coach traffic coming in and out of the south of London. The first landlord may have chosen the name Elephant and Castle in homage to a group of medieval craftsmen who made swords and knives. Called the "Worshipful Company of Cutlers", its crest shows an elephant carrying a castle.
However, you're after a very particular elephant today, one with an extraordinary colour that has a dash of the theatrical about him.
They say an elephant never forgets, but this one hasn't realised he's dropped something!
