Page "Elephant and Castle" Paragraph 19
from
Wikipedia
Shakespeare mentions the Elephant Lodgings in his play " Twelfth Night ".
In Act 3 Scene 3 Antonio says " In the south suburbs, at the Elephant, is best to lodge.
" Although the play is set in Illyria in the Balkans Shakespeare often uses local London references.
The theatres were all in Southwark, so maybe this is an advert for a local hostelry.
