Emeka was fantastic — he did a very thorough job cleaning my windows and the difference is immediately noticeable. He was polite, efficient, and took great care with the details to ensure everything was left spotless. I’d definitely recommend him and would be happy to book him again.

“Rachael is truly outstanding! She is always punctual, incredibly thorough, and somehow manages to clean so quickly while doing an amazing job every single time. She is extremely detail-oriented and goes above and beyond — from taking the bins out to deep cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, she truly does everything. She never needs us to go over what needs to be done; she just gets on with it, which is so rare and invaluable. She is lovely to be around and completely trustworthy. She takes a huge mental load off our minds, and coming back to a spotless, sparkling home is always such a joy. Without a doubt, she is the best cleaner we have ever had, and we feel very lucky to have her!.”

Local information about Elephant and Castle

Elephant and Castle is an area in the South London Borough of Southwark. The area takes its name from the historic Elephant and Castle coaching inn located in the neighbourhood.

Elephant and Castle bridges multiple postcodes - SE1, SE11, SE17 - and is sometimes used to refer to nearby neighbourhoods Walworth (SE17) and Newington (SE17) as well.

Transport into Central London is made simple by the Northern Line and Bakerloo Line service at Elephant and Castle station. The station is also serviced by Thameslink and National Rail trains, taking locals both into the city centre, and out of London into Kent.

The Elephant and Castle area is subject to an ongoing regeneration project, which will see thousands of new flats and apartments built across the neighbourhood, as well as a new town centre. There are also plenty of houses available in the area, with period terraced properties lining the streets of the nearby Newington and Walworth neighbourhoods.

Located in Zone 1, Elephant and Castle is a popular evening destination with a vibrant nightlife. The iconic Ministry of Sound is located in the neighbourhood, along with numerous other pubs, bars and restaurants.
