I hadn't realised there were so many Road Safety conferences, award ceremonies and the like - with three in the near future being just a short cycle from Kennington.
Unfortunately none I've looked at do anything to encourage people to travel to the event by bicycle. I guess cyclists are just not the Road Safety brigade's target audience (ooh, how the organisers must shudder of the perceived risk of a cyclist being in collision with a particulate-poisoned, obese, diabetic, stroke-awaiting, airbag-cushioned driver).

Maybe I'll leave London and go to
