The 16-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham even pulled his pink hoodie over his baseball cap-clad head as he ran up the stairs and hastily made his way to his transport.

Brooklyn, whose godfather is Sir Elton John, rounded off his look with a pair of ripped jeans and trendy black shoes.

Dark Shadows favourite Chloe meanwhile had clearly dressed to impressive in a leather biker jacket, cleavage-baring jumpsuit and stilettos.

The 18-year-old lovely certainly seemed to have enjoyed her time at the painfully trendy nightspot in the affluent Marylebone area of London.

Amusingly enough, the star -recently revealed that she's keeping her options open when it comes to her love life.

She said: 'I’m just going out and meeting people, trying to keep it fun and young and not lock myself down right now.

'I barely have time for my own life, much less someone else’s! I’m trying to hold my own as a young woman and make the right decisions—but still try to be a kid.

'I’m just trying to have fun and be young.'

And thankfully she seemed to have had a jolly good time with her old love interest in the capital.

At the height of their romance in September 2014 she waxed lyrical about her flame, saying: 'He's a very good guy and he's a good person. I enjoy hanging out with him.'

Meanwhile Brooklyn's father David recently spoke out about his son's love life, when he admitted he would treat his daughter Harper differently to his boys when she starts dating.

He added: 'Obviously Brooklyn is definitely at that age. You know, he’s 16, he’s definitely at that age.

'We’re strong parents, and strict parents, but we’re like most parents. We love our kids and we want the best for them, so we’ll see.'
