As the CMSUK awards go from strength to strength, we are delighted to announce our move to a new venue, the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, allowing us to accommodate almost twice as many attendees.
As the flagship award ceremony within the case management sector, demand has now outgrown our previous venue. With an increasing appetite for celebrating excellence in case management, we recognised the need for a larger space to bring even more of the case management community together.
Our move to the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, means we can now welcome over 400 guests for an evening of recognition, inspiration and networking. This not only enables more professionals from across the sector to attend and also allows for greater opportunities for collaboration and connection on the night.
At the ceremony, guests will also have the opportunity to hear from our keynote speaker, Darren Edwards, who will be exploring the theme of our awards ceremony, ‘Adversity into Achievement.’.
As a record-breaking explorer, Darren has overcome a life-changing spinal cord injury and now leads groundbreaking expeditions. He inspires audiences with his extraordinary journey of resilience and will be adding a wealth of experience to our evening.
With the Royal Garden Hotel being well connected to London’s major transport hubs, it makes the venue accessible for all guests. The closest underground station to the Royal Garden Hotel is High Street Kensington, which is only a five-minute walk away and can be reached on the Circle and District Lines.
If you’re driving to the awards, the full address for the venue is:
Royal Garden Hotel
2- 24 Kensington High Street
London
W8 4PT
The venue does have a secure underground car park that has 147 spaces and if you’d like to book a space, you can do so by following this link. Other car parks within a 15-minute walk include:

In addition to moving to a new venue, we have also implemented a new awards submission process, streamlining the award nominations. By doing so, it means the process isn’t as time-consuming and is easier to navigate.
