I am getting really excited about the London Lifestyle Awards now – in just a couple of weeks the cream of London’s crop will descend upon the Hurlingham Club, where we’ll reveal the winners of these prestigious awards and make some people very happy!
I’m having the time of my life working on the awards in the run up to the event, as myself and the other committee members have busy beavering away in the background, adding our thoughts to those of the public, who have voted in their thousands. Thank you if you had your say – we have been listening.
Anyway. The fabulous nominees deserve some attention, so here – without further ado – are the people and businesses short-listed for awards this year. And a gorgeous bunch they are, don’t you think?!
