I've heard of pubs being called
The Bear,
The Cock and
The Bull,
The Tiger's Head,
The Red Lion and
The White Hart - even (disgustingly uninviting though it sounds)
The Slug and Lettuce, but---
The ELEPHANT and HIPPO...?
Still, it's doubtless a handy hostelry for any big-game hunters who happen to be on safari in South West London...

What a brilliant name! I love elephants and your namesake here in my small Belgian village love hippos! I shall have to tell him about this!
Lordy, & I thought there were just deer in nearby(ish) Richmond Park. Is it a nod to the mammoths wandering the Thames in times gone by?! Do they serve suitably sized food & drink? Is there a dress code?
JEN - Dress code? Well, pith-helmets are, apparently, de rigueur!
