Sugar,
Wear you warmest coat and carry it when you get to Hong Kong. You should always dress for the coldest place you are going to be and can shed when yuo get the otehr end. I'd take a light garment bag with you and the coat can go in there when you get to Hong Kong and similarly you can don it again when you get back to London. If you get stuck somewhere and it is cold frankly that could make you feel quite wretched. You are going to work not climb a mountain or dressing like a No Parking lamp or a homing beacon for incoming helicopters.
