Tottenham striker Harry Kane was crowned Premier League Player of the Year at the London Football Awards, while Chelsea's Fran Kirby won Women's Super League Player of the Year.
Kane, who has registered 21 goals and 13 assists in the league this season, beat off competition from team-mate Heung-Min Son, West Ham duo Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek and Chelsea's Mason Mount.
The 27-year-old, expected to tell Spurs he wants to leave if they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season, labelled the award win as a "fantastic achievement" but admits he is more concerned about winning team trophies.
Arsenal trio Vivianne Miedema, Jennifer Beattie, Leah Williamson were nominated alongside Kirby, as well as her Chelsea team-mate Pernille Harder.
Rice and Mount were also up for the Young Player of the Year gong, but 19-year-old Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka took home the prize.
Saka, who was also up against Arsenal team-mate Emile Smith-Rowe and Chelsea defender Reece James in his category, has scored seven goals and notched up eight assists in all competitions this season.
West Ham took home two awards, with David Moyes winning Manager of the Year and Lukasz Fabianski being named Goalkeeper of the Year.
Spurs forward Erik Lamela's Rabona flick in the north London derby defeat to Arsenal last month won Goal of the Season.
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson received the Outstanding Contribution to London Football award.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney was named EFL Player of the Season after a prolific first campaign in west London, with the 25-year-old scoring 29 goals for the Bees since arriving from Peterborough.
Chelsea's Niamh Charles was named Women's Young Player of the Year, with Tottenham's Angela Addison and Arsenal's Malin Gut also nominated.
"Individual awards are great," Harry Kane said after being named Premier League Player of the Year at the London Football Awards.
"They're fantastic achievements. When I look back at the end of my career, these are all the things I'll go over and take in a little bit more, but the goal right now as a player is to win team trophies.
"As much as this is great, I want to be winning the biggest team prizes. We're not quite doing that. It's bittersweet, but it is what it is. I'm proud to win [this one], it's been a good season on the pitch.
"[Heung-Min] Son has been incredible. We have a really good connection, a really good understanding. We get on really well on and off the pitch. We're good friends and I'm happy to see him playing well too.
"I'm from London, so growing up and having that local feeling, there is nothing better than playing for your local team, the ones you have been brought up around.
"London will always have a special place in my heart. It's where I'm from and where a lot of my family are from. It's a special award to win for sure.
"There are so many great players based in London. To win this award is a great achievement."
