Perronet House

Perronet House is an 11-storey residential council tower block adjacent to the northern roundabout of the Elephant and Castle, in London.

In 1969 Sir Roger Walters was commissioned by the Greater London Council to design a high density block of social housing to complement the already completed high rise buildings of commercial, educational and governmental establishments in the Elephant and Castle Comprehensive Development Area on what was then known as Site 4.

This provides each flat with a dual aspect unobstructed by external corridors more usually found on high rise social housing in the area.

In 2020, the area of the building hold garages was remodelled by the Council to create Elephant Arcade, a series of small business units destined to rehome 11 traders dislodged by the demolition of the nearby shopping centre.
