    ShopLondon2Win Contest 2023

This spring, the ShopLondon2Win contest encouraged Londoners to shop more, try new places and think local first!


Each week, a draw for $1,000 was shared by the winner and a local business in London. Londoners embraced the opportunity to support both new spots and old favourites! There were 5,554 entries received over the 6-week contest from 2,208 participants. More than 1,000 unique businesses were entered.
 


As an initiative of Find it in London, ShopLondon2Win sparked renewed interest and enthusiasm for supporting local businesses with Londoners – something organizers hope will continue throughout the summer.
