I am so proud that everyone got together and celebrated the amazing city which is London - one I believe is the greatest in the world. Over the last couple of years the lifestyle industries have had to work even harder to secure their futures and provide a great lifestyle but they are constantly achieving this and are successful.”
He continues, “We had an amazing turn out last night and I’d like to give thanks to everyone that came and supported our first London Lifestyle Awards!”.

The Handmade UK Sandwich Competition

This month saw the first ever Handmade UK Sandwich Competition and with a prize of free sandwiches for a week up for grabs, no one was taking it lightly. Points were awarded for taste, originality and presentation with each tasting every sandwich anonymously and scoring them out of 10 in each category.

The competition did not pass without controversy with Cat’s entrant of bagels igniting a fierce debate over whether a bagel actually counts as a sandwich. In the end originality and creativity won over taste, with Madeleine’s fish-shaped salmon and cucumber sandwiches taking first place, much to the disgust of Harriet and Jason, who finished in the bottom two.

One week to go....

With one week to go until the London Lifestyle Awards, preparations are in full swing. More celebrities and press are being confirmed each day and we are currently bringing in the goodies for the goody bags - yay!

London Lifestyle Awards 2010 preparations are in full swing, voting is now open - who's getting your vote, let us know!

Bill Clinton inspired the London Lifestyle Awards, read the London Lifestyle Awards 2010 blog to find out why..

http://londonlifestyleawards.com/london/category/blog


I was fortunate enough to be invited to accompany my friend Sinitta to meet Bill Clinton a little while ago. I have always thought Bill Clinton an incredible man and as a President did and continues to do a huge amount of good. It was amazing to meet him and for the first time probably ever I was quite star struck (If the truth be told so was Sinitta!). Anyway I had been thinking about creating the London Lifestyle Awards for a while not only because I love London and everything it offers but London at the time was still in the grips of credit crunch gloom. It seemed a great deal of moaning and complaining was interfering my usual positive outlook. Let me tell you: When Bill speaks, people listen, and I certainly was no different. Glued to every word, he spoke about what a great city London is, how much he really enjoyed coming here and the connection he felt with it. You could feel he was absolutely genuine and that he has a real love for the city. He honestly did think it was one of the best in the world and thought we should celebrate that.

Walking back to the car my thoughts whirred with his words and I made my mind up: We ARE a great city and I am going to take action right now with the London Lifestyle Awards. Thanks Mr President!

Handmade team eat at Platform

This weekend the Handmade team ventured out to new restaurant/bar, Platform, in London Bridge to try out the food. Absolutely scrumptious it was, the trout was cooked to perfection and the lamb so succulent and juicy. The bakewell tart was to die for - a particular favourite of ours! Pig's trotter canapes also which were an experience but delicious! With the launch party looming, Thursday 15th April, it is definitely not to be missed.
