The Milestone is a charming spot for pot of Earl Grey and yummy little cakes in the afternoon. There is a roaring fire which is lovely on a cold day. This place looks like it hasn't changed a bit in decades and whilst some of the decor is bordering on drab, I found it refreshingly unpretentious.
I haven't yet eaten in the restaurant but I did peek into the dining room and it seemed quite sweet. I'll be back to try it out.

Afternoon tea at the Milestone was such a delight! The staff made me feel like royalty and were very knowledgeable about the Kensington area and history of the hotel. The food was lovely and the Inverse tea was perfect. I was even served complimentary champagne! The experience was wonderful, but it was rather expensive. So if you’re looking for a fancy afternoon tea and willing to splurge a little, I would highly recommend The Milestone Hotel!
The Milestone Hotel is a luxurious five-star hotel located in the heart of Kensington, and their Afternoon Tea is a must-try for anyone looking for a quintessentially British experience. The hotel's elegant and sophisticated atmosphere, combined with its impeccable service, made for an unforgettable experience.
As I was seated at my table, I was presented with an extensive tea menu, featuring a wide selection of teas from around the world. I decided to go for the traditional English Breakfast tea to accompany my food.
The food arrived shortly after presented beautifully on a tiered stand. The bottom tier featured a variety of sandwiches, including cucumber & cream cheese, smoked salmon & dill, egg mayonnaise & cress and their signature (my fav) chicken mayonnaise and toasted almonds. Each sandwich was freshly made and tasted delicious.
On the top tier was an array of sweet treats, including a selection of cakes and pastries. My favourites were the hazelnut creme choux pastry and the toffee apple tart, both of which were beautifully presented and tasted amazing.
Finally, I was presented with warm, freshly baked scones, served with clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam. The scones were perfectly baked, with a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior.
Throughout my meal, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, polite and knowledgeable, and made me feel very welcome.
Overall, the Afternoon Tea at Milestone Hotel was a truly wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the tea was perfect, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Halal British Afternoon Tea experience.
Big thank you to Dorina for her excellent service throughout our experience.
