And the winner is....

Voting has now closed for the King of Camden Awards 2011, along with the King and Queen of Camden 2011. All the winners will be announced at our glitzy award ceremony next Thursday 8th December at The Collective.

There are seven King of Camden 2011 awards up for grabs. Along with Camden Town Unlimited, we want to celebrate the best independent businesses in Camden Town, voted for by the public.These will celebrate the best independent businesses in Camden Town, as voted by the public. The categories are best: food, night out, staff, Wedge offer, health & beauty, shop and finally the best of the best – the King of Camden, the one place Camdenites could not live without!

Alongside these awards, we will be crowning the winners of the first ever ‘King and Queen of Camden’ competition. Camden Town Unlimited set out to find a King and Queen who encompass the vibrancy, energy and diversity that is Camden Town. They asked people to send in a picture and the reason they deserved to reign Camden, and entries flooded in. The chosen royal couple will then be featured on their 2011 Christmas card, which will be distributed to thousands of local businesses and residents.

The award ceremony on Thursday is set to be a fabulous evening of celebration and merriment. There will be plenty of beer, provided kindly by Camden Town Brewery, along with Friels Cider. Whole Foods Market will be providing tasty and unusual fruit juices. And that’s not all! We will also have a whole range of delicious delicacies from our official food sponsors. A taste of the globe will be on offer, right here in Camden. Vietnamese delights courtesy of Kim’s, Japanese treats from Feng Sushi, Asian offerings from Zensai, Indian cuisine from Nazaks and Lebanese nibbles from Al-Qalaa.

Here’s to celebrating Camden Town. Cheers!
