Some of the biggest names in UK journalism will gather together tomorrow night for the Press Gazette British Journalism Awards 2019.

The awards will take place from 7pm at London’s Hilton Bankside (nearest Tube: Southwark). The dress code is lounge suits and cocktail dresses.

After a drinks reception and gala dinner, prizes for each of the 23 award categories, including News Provider of the Year, will be handed out.
