Deirdre sashayed forth by meeting up with her usual Parade at the modernistic Asia de Cuba restaurant in St Martin's Lane Hotel. Beginning at the lively Light Bar with a divine Thai chili cocktail, Deirdre soon moved on to sample some of the exotic combinations from the Asian-Cuban fusion Menu, whilst soaking up the energetic, sophisticated atmosphere.

Giant columns of contemporary art dramatically break up the restaurant and are the focal point of Philippe Starck’s jaw-dropping interior design that creates “a new universe.” Deirdre and her Parade were certainly ready to continue the night after such an impressive start!

As it was a Tuesday, Deirdre persuaded her Parade to pop along to London’s infamous Art Rock Disco at Madame Jojo’s in Soho. White Heat was certainly heaving with people: a blur of piercings and radical haircuts. Bopping until the early hours of the morning to the never-ending DJ sets which boast Steve Aoki, CSS and Kissy Sell Out, Deirdre’s Parade were easily convinced that they were at the best place on a Tuesday night for a wild boost much needed to continue their week.
