About The Rockingham Arms
A JD Wetherspoon pub occupying the ground floor of Metro Central Heights, the Grade II-listed Brutalist tower designed by Ernő Goldfinger as Alexander Fleming House.
The Rockingham Arms occupies part of the ground floor of Metro Central Heights, the striking Brutalist tower on Newington Causeway designed by Ernő Goldfinger in the 1960s as the government's Alexander Fleming House, now Grade II listed and converted mostly into flats. Wetherspoon's usual formula — low prices, a wide cask ale range, and long opening hours — sits somewhat incongruously inside one of London's most architecturally significant post-war buildings, but the pairing has made it a reliable, no-frills option right by Elephant & Castle's transport hub for locals and commuters alike.
On tap
