In our bar every cocktail tells a story so, we would like you to enjoy the drinks based on the stories of one of the biggest criminal gangs in English history.
The 40 Elephants was an all-female organized crime collective active in London's Elephant and Castle District from at least 1873 right into the 1950. They specialized in shoplifting, with some blackmail and extortion thrown in to make them particularly badass.
This gang was notable for its longevity and skill in avoiding police detection. Their most notorious leader, Diamond Annie, was known by the London police as "the cleverest of thieves".
Forty Elephants funded a life of decadence in London roaring twenties, hanging about the glamorous hotels, bars and theaters they could only dream about before their turn to crime.
Glamour was both a goal and a smoke screen for the Forty Elephants, through which they created their own thrilling world of fashion. money, and fame.

We went for lunch hoping for an interesting “historical” experience. Whilst a beautifully appointed venue, the background history was not so obvious. This was explained in writing. The food had limited choices for lunch. As very experienced cook and diner, I could not recommend the standard of the burger or its ingredients, which was very expensive for what was provided. However, the sole attendant was very attentive, and made up for a lot of the shortcomings on the food. Excellent service. 5 stars. Sorry, we should have got his name 1215- 1345 on 5th.Feb.2025.

My OpenTable booking had not been received by the venue. They had no record of it. Fortunately the kind staff were able to accommodate us on a busy evening, which is what I had booked. 0 stars for opentable

We just had a cocktail here before our dinner at Ekstedt at the yard. The setting was nice and the cocktails were OK, although not special, and were expensive even by London standards. They charged us extra for ordering off the menu, for a very simple gin / triple sec / lemon cocktail which was a bit of a surprise...
The 40 ElephantsGereageerd op 1 oktober 2024
Hi Ian, We appreciate your feedback! We're pleased that you like the setting, but we take your comments on the cocktails and pricing very seriously. We will look into both issues and hope to provide a better experience next time. Best regards, The 40 Elephants

Wonderful cocktails. So interesting on the history of the bar and all the information we found there. Ambience was very good and attention to detail was lovely. There were some children allowed in there which changed the dynamics of the place due to noise so overall it would have been a 5 star.

Hi Rachel, We express our gratitude for your marvellous feedback! We are more than delighted that you and your guests appreciated the libations, the storied past of the bar, and the space's atmosphere. Your remarks about the noise level are appreciated and will be taken into consideration for future improvements. We sincerely hope to see you all again soon! Best regards, The 40 Elephants
