Please note, this experience is solely for Afternoon Tea and does not include tickets to the show.

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 Afternoon Tea, served in the Park Lounge or Cheneston’s Restaurant. Available from the 5th of January until the 2nd of March 2026

This season, guests can also enjoy a Cirque du Soleil–inspired Afternoon Tea, created in celebration of the spectacular show currently playing at the nearby Royal Albert Hall.

Celebrate the art of Afternoon Tea at The Milestone Hotel and Residences, now enhanced with a glass of Lanson Brut. Savour dainty sandwiches, warm scones and exquisite pastries in a setting that feels as timeless as the tradition itself.

Taking its name from the original cast iron milestone that stands against one of its walls The Milestone Hotel is a deluxe 5 star boutique hotel overlooking Kensington Palace, former home to Princess Diana, and Kensington Gardens. Built in the late 19th Century as two townhouses, the hotel is a listed building and the restoration has been meticulously done according to English Heritage standards with original fireplaces, carved wood panelling, high ceilings and large ornate windows. 

The interior of the Park Lounge is decorated with antiques and elegant furnishings that provides guests with an opulent environment to indulge in a selection of delicious sweet and savoury treats.

Chenestons Restaurant provides a similiarly sophisticated experience. Deriving its name from an early spelling of Kensington, this luxurious restaurant features traditional mahogany furniture and wood panelling that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere to enjoy Afternoon Tea.

Afternoon Tea is served at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm sittings.
