Chacalli De Decker left guests on an all time high with a glittering Casino Royale party at the Cavendish London. Diplomats, private secretaries and protocol officers knew they were in for a great evening from the moment they were greeted by the Bond theme tune and the extraordinary sight of a ‘Champagne Standing Lady’ with a dress made from fizz.

After a few selfies in front of a shimmering backdrop it was time to get a caricature from a sketch artist or hit the roulette and blackjack tables, while a roving saxophonist provided the soundtrack.

After trays laden with canapes and more than few martinis (shaken, not stirred of course), a raffle draw brought to an end an evening that 007 himself would give a 10.
