At the base of the tower is an adjoining four-storey L-shaped pavilion containing apartments and commercial units.

The development lies immediately adjacent to the Metropolitan Tabernacle and in close proximity to Elephant & Castle tube station.

[3][4] The development comprises 284 studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments with 254 in the tower and 30 in the attached four-storey pavilion.

[5][6] The building is located on the site of a council-owned leisure centre (that featured a swimming pool (closed for many years), a gym, squash courts and a sports hall).

[7][8] Including that payment, the sale of the land and proceeds from an overage deal, Southwark Council received £22m from the One The Elephant development which more than covered the £20m cost of the new leisure centre.
