From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Newington Causeway is a road in Southwark, London SE1, between the Elephant and Castle and Borough High Street. The Elephant and Castle tube station is at the southern end.

In 1912, an outpatients' department of the South London Hospital for Women and Children was opened in Newington Causeway, using money raised by Harriet Shaw Weaver, publisher of The Freewoman, and other feminists ^[1].

Metro Central Heights (originally known as Alexander Fleming House), an early 1960s multi-storey office building designed by Ernő Goldfinger, is located here. The Ministry of Sound, a famous nightclub, is in Gaunt Street just off Newington Causeway. Also here is Inner London Sessions House, a Crown Court, and the Newington Court Business Centre.

The Institute of Optometry, formerly the London Refraction Hospital, is located at 56–62 Newington Causeway.
