Elfis has entered the building
Croydon Business Improvement District (BID) has welcomed the arrival of its newest festive sensation at BOXPARK Croydon - a towering 15ft Elf on the Shelf®, who has officially been named ‘Elfis’, following an overwhelming response to the BID’s recent naming competition.
In partnership with The Lumistella Company and Croydon Business Improvement District (BID), the giant Scout Elf installation follows the success of similar campaigns in Bristol and Liverpool, making Croydon the latest UK town to host this renowned holiday experience.
Running through to Christmas Eve, the event invites families, friends and holiday explorers to discover Croydon’s festive side, with each location offering seasonal displays and festive photo opportunities.
Out of over 100 creative and festive entries, Croydon BID saw the list, checked it twice and found out that Elfis was the clear favourite.
Dressed all in red with a ticket from the North Pole to Croydon in hand, Londoners will not be able to help falling in love with the Scout Elf this Christmas as he spreads festive cheer across the community. A playful nod to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself, Elfis is adding a sprinkle of seasonal magic with a side of Croydon charm.

- Centrale Shopping Centre - 4th December – North End, CR0 1TY
