London Lifestyle Awards
The London Lifestyle Awards first took place in 2010 and is now an event held annually. The awards are the first of their kind and the event attracts thousands of entrants.
Nominations and Ceremony
The awards were created by London PR man Jason Gale. The awards are presented in recognition of businesses and organisations who make an outstanding contribution to the lifestyle of Londoners and visitors to London. Nominations come from the public with 3000 businesses nominated in the first year.
There are 18 lifestyle categories and nominations received from consumers and businesses all over the country. The winners are selected by public vote and then by a committee, formed of industry experts and well known Londoners.
Tickets are sold for the formal ceremony at which the awards are presented and entertainment provided by sponsors and entrants of the awards.
