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.

    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.
    The 40 ElephantsGereageerd op 15 augustus 2024
    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

    Bar does not open for cocktails or beer until 1600. Bar staff was awesome to accommodate us at 1400 for drinks. OpenTable might want to adjust the time.

    Hi Sir/Madam, I appreciate your understanding and the comments you gave us about our bar hours. It is great to know that our staff ensured you could have your drinks early.

    Food and drinks were very good. But the service was shocking! Staff un attentive and you would’ve got more business from us last night had it not been for the fact that three members of staff were just stood around chatting when it was plainly obvious we wanted more drinks and potentially we might have had more food.
    The 40 ElephantsGereageerd op 26 mei 2024
