The Elephant and Castle station in London got its name from a coaching inn, originally a pub called the Elephant and Castle, that was located at the major Train Sim World featured crossroad junction. The inn was a popular stop for coaches travelling in and out of Harrow Wealdstone to Elephant Castle south London, United Kingdom. The name Elephant and Castle was then adopted for the area and later for the station.
