The Trocadero of 1930, with more than 3,000 seats, gave way to Ernő Goldfinger's Odeon of 1966, which was itself demolished in 1988. Alexander Fleming House, Goldfinger's ministry offices, was subsequently converted into the flats of Metro Central Heights. Its blocks were retained, so this postwar workplace became homes without leaving the street plan. The sheet also names Telford House, Stephenson House, Rennie House and Rankine House, and the Southern Region railway crosses the sheet. Reissued in March 1962, this outline records streets, footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. It fixes the rebuilt street pattern before later coloured revisions added cinema, occupancy and housing changes, including work near Arch Street dated March 1971. These working plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording new uses, layouts, demolition and rebuilding. A key plan for this area acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Newington Causeway, Rockingham Street, Southwark Bridge Road, Lancaster Street, Tiverton Street, Tarn Street, Bath Terrace, Skipton Street, London Road and New Kent Road.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371797238107,"sku":"P-9-001248","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001248a_089cd107-f5c5-4035-aca8-1f2d4a95e66b.jpg?v=1792149348"},{"product_id":"goad-london-255-se1-elephant-castle-fleming-house-odeon-cinema-1962-1971-map-p-9-001249","title":"Goad London 255—SE1—Elephant \u0026 Castle—Fleming House—Odeon cinema 1962 (1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 255 [Newington Causeway, New Kent Road, Alexander Fleming House and the Odeon cinema]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 255, covers Elephant and Castle (SE1), where Ernő Goldfinger's Alexander Fleming House is explicitly shown as occupied by the Ministry of Health, with office floors and basement parking. The DHSS left in 1989, and by 2002 the complex had become the flats of Metro Central Heights, a substantial shift from government employment to homes. The complex was listed in 2013, while the Odeon cinema, Goldfinger's 1966 replacement for the Trocadero, was demolished in 1988. Government workshops and stores then filled the railway arches, near the Hertz truck-rental garage, Elephant Motors, Telford House, Stephenson House, Rennie House and Rankine House. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording new uses, layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet's amendments on the rebuilt street pattern document changing cinema use, occupied premises and housing construction, and work near Arch Street dated March 1971 is the latest dated correction.

This March 1965 reissue records the centre, the School of Printing, roundabouts and pedestrian subways, which had replaced the industrial plots around Taylor's Yard, Draper Street and Black Prince Court. That comprehensive redevelopment has itself since been swept away. The centre closed in 2020 and was demolished in 2021 for shops, homes and a London College of Communication campus, which is the planned 2027 home of the former L.C.C. School of Printing and Graphic Arts. The sheet also names Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle, the London Transport Executive electricity substation, built in 1961 as the Michael Faraday Memorial, and the Elephant and Castle cinema, railway station and Underground station. The cinema later became the Coronet, whose live-music phase ran from 2003 to 2018 and included Justin Timberlake, Mumford \u0026amp; Sons and Tom Jones, who performed in March 2014. That concert venue lay decades ahead of the map; the building was demolished in 2021.

It shows Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle as built, before the fire of 1898, the bombing of 1941 and the smaller rebuilding of 1957. At the time of the plan, Pastor's College and the Elephant and Castle Theatre, in Frank Matcham's rebuilding of 1879, stood beside Elephant and Castle station, Newington National School, the Drapers' Almshouses, Rabbits \u0026amp; Sons and a sperm-oil works. The college later became Spurgeon's College in South Norwood and closed in 2025, while the theatre later became the Coronet cinema, then a live-music venue from 2003 to 2018. Justin Timberlake, Mumford \u0026amp; Sons and Tom Jones, who appeared in March 2014, played there long after the theatrical use shown on this outline; the building was demolished in 2021. The outline records footprints with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans, and it preserves Taylors Depository, Draper Street, Black Prince Court and industrial plots. A coloured edition reissued in March 1965 shows them replaced by the Elephant and Castle shopping centre, the School of Printing, roundabouts and pedestrian subways.

The cleared streets south of New Kent Road became the Heygate Estate, which was completed in 1974 and demolished in 2011–14. The land is now Elephant Park, planned for some 3,000 homes around a large park. St Matthew's Church, built in 1867 and demolished in 1992, appears with St Matthew's Hall, and the church's successor now stands on Meadow Row.

Around Chatteris Square, the sheet shows clearance replacing the earlier buildings.
