The winners of the British Parking Awards were revealed at the Royal Lancaster London on 13 September. Yes, it was Friday the 13th, but the British Parking Awards 2024 proved to be lucky for some! The British Parking Awards were founded by Parking Review magazine back in 2002 to honour excellence in the design, operation and management of parking.
This year’s finalists were whittled down from a list of over 140 entries by a jury of 25 independent-minded experts who are truly passionate about parking. A key reason for the awards being so respected, and the trophies so coveted, is that the competition is built on the trust placed by entrants in the decisions of the jury.
The entries were divided between teams of jurors, who read and ranked them ahead of a series of meetings both online and in person to establish the short list.
The next stage saw entries re-read and discussed by the wider pool of jury members, with site visits undertaken for the car parks and systems, and apps and websites tested out. Where needed, follow-up questions were posed to entrants and testimonials checked or gathered for individuals in line for categories such as Rising Star, Person of the Year and the Lifetime Achievement Awards. The jury then assembled at the Royal Lancaster London in person for a day of discussion and debate at which the final list of winning entries was agreed.
In parallel, the Landor LINKS team was busy organising the British Parking Awards event, which over the past 22 years has grown in scale and ambition to become firmly established as the highlight of the sector’s social calendar.
The awards’ longtime home is the Royal Lancaster London, which is renowned for the quality of its catering and elegance of its banqueting rooms. The selection of this year’s menu was, as ever, a challenge that the events team and invited guests take very seriously, and enjoy as they are treated to a range of exquisite creations for each course. The final selection was among the finest menus we have composed, and one of the greenest as both Landor LINKS and the Royal Lancaster are committed to supporting sustainable and low-carbon practices – without sacrificing flavour!
The 650 people who attended the 2024 ceremony were treated to a mesmering film and show designed by Landor LINKS’s event team. The ceremony was kickstarted by Paul Moorby OBE, founder of main sponsor MiPermit, and leading parking professional Anjna Patel OBE. They handed the ceremony over to this year’s hosts, the comedian and broadcaster Paul Sinha, and acclaimed voiceover artist Roger Tilling.
A day of wit and wonder saw a parade of parking professionals invited to take to the stage to collect their trophies, pose for pictures and record video messages that can be found on the official website. And those who wanted to continue celebrating headed to The Swan overlooking Hyde Park.
We next gather again for the best day in parking at the Royal Lancaster London on 12 September 2025.
