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.
