This was a wonderful experience. Tim, the doorman and my server (forgot her name) were outstanding. The service, care for the tradition, and warmth of engagement were all outstanding! Absolutely would go again!

My daughter and I absolutely loved having tea at the Milestone. Service was excellent and the food and champagne were delightful. It was exactly what we hoped a high tea would be - hotel is lovely and located right across from the beautiful garden gate of Kensington Palace. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

My wife and I enjoyed having Afternoon Tea at the Milestone Hotel. This was our second time. We like that you can try more than one tea.

The High Tea was amazing - probably the best I’ve experienced. Round chicken sandwiches coated in almonds were next level and two of the desserts were out of this world. Grant who served us was great. But the cost of a bottle of water at £10.85 left a sour taste in my mouth. If I’d known they were going to charge us for the water I would have taken the bottle for a souvenir 🤣🤣🤣

Quaint, quiet tea atmosphere. High tea was very good. Food was good. Server needed more training and language learning, but was nice.
