Directions
Corsica Studios is located just two minute's walk from The Elephant and Castle Underground which is served by the Bakerloo and Northern lines . However, the Elephant and Castle subway system is notoriously complicated so please follow these directions if you are unfamiliar with the area. If arriving by tube follow the signs for the Shopping Centre exit. On passing through the ticket barriers take the ramp to your left which heads up in to the shopping centre. Once inside, walk straight past the escalators and cafe area and through the exit doors ahead of you. Pass straight through the Thameslink ticket area, through the exit and turn right on to Elephant Road. Corsica Studios is 50m further down the road on your right hand side. This may sound complicated but it is the simplest way to get here if arriving by tube. The Thameslink overground Line also serves the Elephant and Castle, with a frequent, reliable service to many destinations between Bedford, Luton, St. Albans and Brighton. It also offers a convenient interchange route with mainline services arriving at Kings Cross. If driving, please ensure that you enter Elephant Road from the south roundabout or Walworth Road approach. We have a limited number of private parking spaces for clients if required and there is also an NCP car park less than 1 minute's walk away. Numerous Bus services also serve the area nearby. More...
