Last night, Westfield London was home to the BT Visit London Awards 2009.
After a champagne reception, guests made their way through to the Atrium of the shopping centre. Screened off with flowing curtains from high on the first floor, the cream of London’s hoteliers, venue operators and London lovers were dressed to the nines and celebrating the achievements of the year.
It was easy to get into the swing of things with some fabulous acts, including a hula hooping marvel Marawa Ibrahim, currently starring in La Clique!
An illustrious panel of judges had made the hard decisions on who won what, and it was great to see the excited winners claiming the rewards for their hard work.
The lucky winners included the National Maritime Museum (Gold Award for Visitor Attraction of the Year), Wicked The Musical (Best Family Fun) and Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley (Outstanding Achievement Award).
Full details of all the winners can be found at awards.visitlondon.com
Last week saw the launch of London’s A Christmas Carol, and got us all thinking about London’s history. Thanks to everyone who commented.
This week is London Fashion Week and the capital is being taken over by all things fashionista.
While the main hub of LFW is Somerset House, there are hundreds of events taking place across the city. From art on the Underground to catwalk shows in the Charing Cross hotel; from new waxworks at Madame Tussauds to Kylie’s hotpants designer, William Baker, at Westfield London.
London’s fashion and shopping scenes are really exciting: constantly evolving and changing; among the best in the world.
So as London shows off the best of its fashion designers, models, producers, photographers and parties(!), we want you to tell us what you love about shopping in London.
Is it the great independent boutiques around Carnaby and Seven Dials? The historic shopping area of Covent Garden? The amazing, modern Westfield London shopping centre? The shoppers’ adrenaline rush you get stepping out of Oxford Circus Tube and onto the world’s most famous shopping street? Or do you have a favourite shopping hidden gem that you want to share with the world during this London Fashion Week?
Let us know.
