When & where is it?
This year the Cycling Media Awards are at the Islington Metalworks, very close to Angel tube station. Fittingly, the Metalworks has historical transport links – stabling horses that pulled trams for London Transport in the late 19th Century. In 1925 it was converted into a still functioning metalworks. There’s a map on the venue’s site here.
The Islington Metal Works, 7 Torrens Street, Angel, Islington, London, EC1V 1NQ. Tel: 0207 278 9081
