And over to East Kennington (the area formerly known as WALWORTH) we go for a visit to our favourite SE17 cafe, The Electric Elephant in Crampton St. It’s located in one of three Victorian mews yards in the area which will be flinging open their artistic doors at the beginning of June. But I digress.
OK back to the cafe……..It is owned and operated by Louisa (who makes and sells a mean marmalade) and for lunch features a selection of salads, omelettes and sandwiches all made to order. Breakfast offers a very hearty fry up or croissants. Homemade cakes are also on offer. All very reasonable, and a mug of tea will set you back just £1.50 (what’s that sound…Vanilla Black gasping?). And they have WiFi.
The decor has a kind of ‘charity shop being squatted in by hippies’ vibe to it which is very relaxing and a perfect place for a quick lunch or a jaded Saturday morning. 
The bubble and squeak is awesome!
Thank you! We have to eat minimum 40 roast dinners a week to get enough leftover veg for it!
Thank you for your lovely review – I was scared when I started reading it. But you have been very kind. I try to kid myself that it doesn’t look like a charity shop squatted by hippies, but who am I kidding?!
I just checked out your reviews of other places to eat in Kennington (O.M.G! I just accidentally referred to my cafe as being in Kennington!) & it has inspired me to check some of them out as I am often on the prowl for a restaurant to go after working in the cafe where someone else can do the cooking.
