On 20th September 2011, London’s Mayor Boris Johnson will host the annual prestigious London Peace Awards with special guests at London’s Living Room, City Hall. Londoners of all ages who have made a significant contribution to safety in the capital will have the opportunity to be a recipient of the 10 award categories. This event forms part of the Annual London Week of Peace 2011.

In the wake of the London riots and community unrest, the Peace Alliance remains committed to showcasing the positive work of Londoners throughout the year whose contributions have increased community safety and developed civic responsibility in their local communities. 

The Peace Alliance is also keen to raise the profile of outstanding individuals or local community organisations that have shown courage and bravery to oppose the violence and criminal damage caused by the London riots.

These awards are a chance for Londoners to nominate their friend, parent, sibling, teacher, student, community group and more for being positive role models, mentors, positive leaders and championing a peaceful London. These are awards by the people for the people.
