Londoners are being asked to pick their favourite shopping spots, restaurants and nights out.

Now organisers want people to vote online for a winner in each section, to be announced at a ceremony sponsored by the Evening Standard at the Royal Albert Hall.

All votes must be made by 2 November so they can be counted ahead of the awards event on 27 November, hosted by 95.8 Capital FM DJ's Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Snowden.

Then finish a hard day's shop with an overnight stay at Topham's luxury boutique hotel in Belgravia. Simply go to the Visit London website between now and 2nd November to place your votes.
