The road in London called Elephant and Castle was named after a pub which previously stood there. The pub had replaced a cutlers workshop and the sign of the Cutlers Company was an Elephant and Castle. The castle is the howdah on the elephants back. The derivation is apparrently not from the contraction of the 'Infanta of Castile', much as that appeals to the romantic mind.
