YDL | Thriller Chiller Party

Everybody knows that the diplomatic world is full of spooks, so on Halloween this year, the Young Diplomats in London, in partnership with BMW Diplomatic Sales, hosted a Thriller Chiller party where diplomats got a chance to reveal their darker side

Dressed in an assortment of gory outfits, they partied in the pumpkin-coloured Mini showroom, which was transformed into a cobweb covered house of horrors, complete with lethal cocktails and wicked party food.

And for a truly dark experience, guests could sit down to a chocolate tasting courtesy of organic chocolatiers Green & Blacks or, if they were a bit stiff from the rigors of diplomatic life, masseurs from Urban Skin were on hand.

The evening ended (before the stroke of midnight) with a prize draw for the best-dressed zombies.
