Mercato Metropolitano is a food hall in Elephant and Castle, London opened in 2016. It is located inside a former papermaking factory. The food hall provides various options of fresh foods and meals including an Italian foods shop and market stalls. In 2025, plans were approved by Southwark to demolish the venue of Mercato Metropolitano as part of the Borough Triangle development, a controversial decision which was contested by locals, being seen as one of the only attractions left in Elephant and Castle and its closure as a "significant loss to the community". Part of the planned development includes a replacement food hall but there are no plans for a venue to host vendors during construction. A docu-series, "Unknown Chefs" released in 2025 explored the stories of four chefs at Mercato Metropolitano, prompting plans to open a filming studio.

London School of Musical Theatre

London School of Musical Theatre (LSMT) is an academy of performing arts that was founded by Glenn Lee in 1995. The school is located on Borough Road, near Elephant and Castle.It was originally housed at The Old Vic Theatre and then Her Majesty's Theatre, before moving to premises on Borough Road where it currently operates. In 2015 the school was based at Price Studios in Clapham but later returned to Borough Road following a full building refurbishment in the summer of 2016. The school provides a one-year, full-time, vocational training for mature students wishing to enter a career in Musical Theatre. The ethos of LSMT is to create the environment of a professional company in rehearsal rather than that of an educational institution. The emphasis of the course is on the development of the singing voice as the tool for acting through song alongside a thorough training in dance and drama. Classes are taught by professionals and practitioners working in the industry, with direct experience of the up to the minute requirements of musical theatre. The school is also recognised by agents and producers as one of the leading providers of exceptional talent to the industry. Since its inception in 1995 LSMT have also commissioned and produced new musical theatre writing with many works now published and presented throughout the world. The school employs Charles Miller as its resident composer. Many graduates from LSMT have highly successful careers in West End Theatre, UK Tours, Internationally and in Television and Film.
