Remember those London Weekly guys? They're having a party. Maybe.

Last spring, a new publication was launched to entertain and enlighten Londoners. Eager to abandon conventional newspaper styles, they launched as a freesheet with a companion website and concentrated on the lives of urban young Londoners, rather than Colonel Blimp in Little England.

That new publication was, of course, The London Weekly. During its five-week life,* there was huge interest in the paper: who is behind it? How is it funded? And, of course, why can’t I find one anywhere at all?

So, imagine our delight to be invited to the London Weekly Awards, to be held this Saturday at the Park Inn Hotel, Russell Square. Crackers.

What will happen at the LWAs? We have no clue. Their blurb says The London Weekly Awards, is London’s first ever consumer choice awards ceremony giving customers a choice to nominate for the best in products and services on offer in London. Categories span from Mobile Network, business leaders to Restaurants giving Londoners a real opportunity to nominate and vote for the organisations and individuals who make a great difference to their everyday life. A special exclusive issue of our sister publication the London Weekly Newspaper and the London Weekender was released last week featuring all nominees in all 25 categories

Typically, as with past experience of the London Weekly, the website www.londonweeklyawards.com merely resolves to the London Weekly website.

And congratulations to the winners. Or the nominators. Or whatever it is that everyone is doing.

• The London Weekly never actually announced that they stopped publishing, but the last mention of any sort of print publication on their website mentions an issue #5. Never seen it.
