The Kensington Hotel - Kensington109-113 Queen's Gate, Kensington, London, SW7 5LR

Taking inspiration from London's most recognisable and historic landmarks, Town House at The Kensington's London Landmarks Afternoon Tea leads diners on a tour of the capital's architectural feats and culinary traditions, with tributes to London's most famed structures.

Location is an integral part of The Kensington's success, nestled in the heart of one of London's most desirable areas and so close to some of the city's most famous landmarks. Given the hotel's iconic location in the capital we thought it was only fitting to honour the city with our Afternoon Tea offering.

Town House's new skyline of scones, sandwiches and sweets pays homage to the capital's iconic buildings and will be presented on a London Eye-inspired tea stand.

The menu is a celebration of London. Bookings are now open from 3rd January 2019. London Landmarks Afternoon Tea £42 per person or £54.50 with a glass of Champagne
