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

The Visit London People's Choice Awards used public nominations to compile shortlists in eight categories including best retailer, best West End show and best family fun day.

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.
