The first room you enter is the party where you're given the chance to rub waxy shoulders with red carpet celebrities.

Filled with dozens of waxworks and celebrities taking selfies, it felt like a real party where you'd spot famous faces you recognised in the crowd.

Never camera shy, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were at the back of the room taking a selfie.

We went for brunch at Les Petits Gourmets, a pretty cafe with a storefront covered in flowers.

I ordered the pancakes which looked pretty topped with a pansy but were itty bitty and not very filling at all.

We went for a drink at the Prince Alfred afterwards which is filled with lots of walled sections which you move between by crouching through small doors.

I sipped on a lemon drizzle gin which was pretty good.

Afterwards we went to Pergola at Paddington Central, a gorgeous pop-up bar and street food market covered in flowers.

We had been sent vouchers for free margaritas and they were the perfect way to cool down.

We were still pretty peckish after our tiny brunch, so we went for a little bit of dim sum at Pearl Liang.

It was very pretty inside with pink tables and cherry blossom murals on the wall.

We ordered noodles, wasabi prawn dumplings, spring rolls, custard tarts and crispy wonton dumplings.
