You’ve nominated …and now it’s time to register your vote for your favourite hidden gems!

Your favourite local restaurant with the Manager who knows you so well…to the delicatessen in your local high street that has the very best home-made hummus…to that local independent cinema where you watch the latest films as well as your favourite classics in a comfy seat with a G&T in your hand. The Smooth Radio Love London awards are a celebration of the real places that real Londoners like you love.

Londoners have been nominating their favourites in their droves and we now have drawn up the shortlist of the top 10 most popular venues in each category.

The Categories are:

1. Best Neighbourhood Cinema
2. Best Neighbourhood Theatre
3. Best Neighbourhood Restaurant
4. Best Neighbourhood Gastro Pub
5. Best Neighbourhood Coffee Shop
6. Best Neighbourhood Delicatessen
7. Best Local Sports Centre

Each shortlisted venue will receive a voting pack with window stickers, posters, show cards and voting forms so they can spread the word and canvas support for their venue. The votes they collect in their venue will be added to your online votes.

A glittering awards ceremony hosted by Smooth Radio’s very own drive time presenter, Paul Coia and with performances from special guests, will be held at the Café De Paris at midday on 7th May where the gold, silver and bronze winners will be announced.
