WLM LIVE. LOVE. LOCAL AWARDS
A few weeks ago we asked you to nominate your favourite local businesses— and boy did you ever! We were even introduced to a few we didn’t know about. Even though we loved all the nominees, there can be only one winner in each category. That being said, there were a few close ties. Thank you for sharing your favourite neighbourhood shops, cafes, leafy parks, lovely play centres, spas and blow-dry bars to yoga and kids’ music classes that make west London a great place to raise a family.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and runners-up, and thanks to everyone who voted, shared and commented!
