Grant Museum wins Love London Time Out Award

The Grant Museum of Zoology at UCL has won the category for local culture in Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia and Holborn via public vote in Time Out's Love London Awards. The museum was up against huge competition in the shape of the British Museum and other museums including the Cartoon Museum, the Hunterian and the Sir John Soane's Museum who all feature along with the Grant in the 'Museum Mile' group of museums. The winner's party took place on Monday 16 November at the Bloomsbury Ballroom and Dean Veall (Learning Officer at the Grant Museum) went along. He said:"There was champagne, dancing and ice-cream involved as we celebrated our win with some of London's best business and cultural venues. Here at the Museum we are really overwhelmed to have firstly be nominated by the members of the public for the award and then to win via public vote. We are extremely grateful for all the support shown."   This is Time Out's second annual Love London Awards. Since the awards launched in September, nearly 16,000 nominations have been cast for almost 5,000 amazing venues across the capital.
