Paramount Properties has let elves take over its window for the festive period.

The London agent, based on West End Lane – or “Elf End Lane” – in West Hampstead, has turned its window display into Santa’s workshop, complete with his little helpers and a Christmas tree.

There is even an inflatable Santa that can be seen waving to passers-by.

It is all part of a family Christmas workshop the agent is hosting this Friday and Saturday where visitors can become trainee elves and get involved with cookie decorating, crafts and write a letter to Santa.

There is also a toy collection for Brent foodbank’s annual Christmas dinner event.
