GAMES MEDIA AWARDS: The night in pictures

Hundreds of media professionals and industry veterans headed to London last night for the 2012 Games Media Awards.

The ceremony was held at Vinopolis, near Borough Market, and was bookended by pre- and post-drinks receptions, as well as the ever popular rockaoke – and we’ve photographed the lot.

The event was hosted by comedian Russell Kane.
