The SoLo Craft Fair Shop in Elephant & Castle

Elephant Stores is delighted to have opened its doors in November 2021 as a multi-use space combining the attributes of three local small businesses; Louie Louie, Fix Your Cycle and SoLo Craft Fair. The beautiful space located on the North side of Elephant Park comprises of a cafe by day, wine and cocktail bar at night, a bicycle repair and hire shop and an independent makers gift shop.

Louie Louie runs the cafe bar - which will be their latest project (one can find their permanent home on Walworth Road in Elephant and Castle). The cafe bar, which will be named Little Louie, features fresh food daily, hifi sounds and vintage furniture for sale as well as natural wines and local beers to go.

Fix Your Cycle have been offering bicycle repair across London for many years. In addition to this, they also run a social enterprise, where they partner with prison services to train up prisoners to repair and refurbish bicycles.

SoLo Craft Fair, who are normally known for their popup markets across South London, operate the independent gift shop on behalf of their makers. Each month the shop will play host to over 60 small businesses selling everything from art to fashion to homeware and more. If you’d like to apply to be part of the shop please click here.
