YDL Chill-out
On a hot summer’s day, at the end of a hectic diplomatic season, members of the Young Diplomats of London gathered at ‘Club BMW’ – BMW’s swish showroom on Park Lane – for the annual Chill-out Session. Diplomats could unwind with a range of colourful and cooling cocktails, courtesy of IDS, while enjoying a relaxing massage thanks to the miracle workers at Urban Skin. There were prizes galore too, courtesy of sponsors from IDS, St Lucia, BMW Park Lane, the Hyatt Regency Churchill Hotel, Urban Skin and Hamptons International. Then the live band struck up some floor fillers signalling it was time for the young diplomats to really let their hair down. A perfect start to the summer break.
