The Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster Chamber of Commerce has officially launched the 2026 Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster Business Awards with a high-profile inauguration event held this week aboard Bustronome.
Business leaders, dignitaries, sponsors and councillors gathered for the launch celebration, enjoying a four-course dinner and drinks while taking in panoramic views across the boroughs from the luxury glass-roofed bus. The elegant setting provided a memorable backdrop to mark the start of this year’s awards programme and brought together guests in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.
The annual awards, supported by Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea and City of Westminster, celebrate outstanding business talent across the three boroughs. Additional sponsors include leading local names such as Grosvenor Casinos, Bishop & Sewell, Aspray, Step Ahead, Fortnum & Mason and Knightsbridge Magazine.
Organisers say the awards are designed to recognise the strength, resilience and innovation of local enterprises, while highlighting their contribution to the economic and social vitality of the communities they serve.
