Positively Putney was honoured to continue its sponsorship of the Time & Leisure Food and Culture Awards 2025, a prestigious event recognising excellence across South West London and Surrey’s hospitality and cultural sectors.

By spotlighting the individuals and establishments that help shape our high streets and enrich our neighbourhoods, the awards—voted for by the public—offer a genuine reflection of the places people love and value across the region.
The afternoon brought together guests from across South West London’s vibrant hospitality scene for a celebration filled with flavour, creativity, and community spirit. Attendees enjoyed a selection of mouthwatering samples from some of the area’s most exciting food and drink businesses.
Putney businesses proudly took centre stage, with Octagreen serving up their vibrant, wholesome dishes (staff team photographed above) and Harvey’s Bakehouse delighting guests with their fresh bakes and signature sweet treats (photographed to the left. Both businesses were warmly received, securing Putney’s reputation as a rising foodie hotspot.
