Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is a quintessentially English tradition and is upheld in its finest form here at The Milestone, in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington. Celebrate our treasured location opposite Kensington Palace and Gardens with our award-winning Afternoon Tea, served in the Park Lounge or Cheneston's Restaurant.

Enjoy a delightful spread featuring finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and homemade preserves, a tempting array of pastries, and an extensive selection of loose-leaf teas. Elevate the experience with a glass of Champagne Lanson, a Royal Warrant holder since 1900.

Honoured with an Award of Excellence at the 2023 and 2024 Afternoon Tea Awards, our Afternoon Tea promises an extraordinary and memorable experience. Please book online to secure your reservation.

Each of our teas includes a selection of finger sandwiches, hand-crafted French pastries, tartlets and cakes, and warm, freshly-baked plain and raisin scones.
