Used Car Awards 2024: Everything you need to know about tonight’s event

  • The main event of the UK used car calendar takes place on tonight!
  • Car Dealer’s Used Car Awards will be held at The Brewery in London
  • We’ve pulled together this handy guide for attendees

Time 6:50 am, November 25, 2024

Car Dealer’s Used Car Awards for 2024 is now just hours, and as the excitement builds up we’ve put together this handy guide to the big event.

We received hundreds of nominations over the past few months and they were gradually whittled down to a shortlist – no mean feat – from which the winners and highly commended placed firms in the categories will be announced. They’re all listed below.

The glittering ceremony – headline-sponsored by Black Horse – is being held at The Brewery in London tonight (November 25) and will be hosted by TV’s Mr Wheeler Dealer himself, aka Mike Brewer.


It all starts at 6pm, and to help people who are coming to the awards, here’s what’s what.

Where is it being held?

The Brewery’s full address is:
52 Chiswell Street
London
EC1Y 4SD

How do I get there?

If you’re travelling by car, there’s no parking on site. The nearest car parks are NCP London Barbican (158-170 Aldersgate Street, EC1A 4HY) and NCP London Finsbury Square (Finsbury Square, Finsbury, EC2A 1RR). There’s also limited pay-and-display parking in nearby streets.


The Brewery is near Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Barbican stations and served by various bus routes. You can also find the venue via its what3words – ///alert.cities.slick.

Where can I stay?

If you’re looking for accommodation, The Brewery has this handy guide.

What’s the dress code?

It’s strictly black tie. This is THE event of the used car calendar after all, so only fine attire will do!

  • £500 – 1st prize
  • £350 – 2nd prize
  • £150 – 3rd prize

The winners will be those who have the most chips at the end of the night and they’ll be contacted by Motors to collect their prizes.

Make sure you register how many chips you have at the end of the night by saying to the croupiers ‘Cash me in’.


Can I go to the afterparty?

The afterparty, sponsored by RAC Dealer Network and Vehicles in Video is taking place in the Grubstreet Author area of The Brewery, specifically in the Sample Room.

It gets underway at midnight with revellers invited to party well into the wee-small hours. The event is strictly ticket-only and a limited number of spaces are still available. If you want to bag your place at the exclusive event, then email [email protected].

How about social media?

We positively encourage you to shout about the event on your preferred platforms – please use the hashtag #UCAwards.
