Vehicle manufacturer Kia has been shortlisted for honours at the upcoming 2012 London Lifestyle Awards.

The company received its nomination for its charitable work in the capital over the last 12 months, including the Kia Walking Bus Scheme, which promoted walking to school for children aged between four and ten in order to help promote healthier lifestyles.

Jason Gale, creator of the London Lifestyle Awards, commented: "This year we have had to release a larger shortlist representing such amazing business and talented individuals who make London the greatest city in the world."

He added that the world's eyes have been on the capital this year and London has once again made the country proud.

Winners of this year's awards will be announced on October 17th at a celebration evening at the Hurlingham Club in Fulham.

Earlier this month, a poll carried out by WhatCar? magazine named the Mazda MX-5 as the most reliable car in the UK.
