London Elephant Parade wins award

The London Elephant Parade has won the award for London Cultural Attraction of the Year at the London Lifestyle Awards 2010, presented by View London. They are a celebration of London and the lifestyles within and what made this award ceremony unique and unrivalled is that the nominations were made solely by the public. I was thrilled to be part of such a popular, fun and worthwhile event.
