traditional afternoon tea
Afternoon
Tea,
a
beloved
British
tradition,
first
emerged
in
the
early
19th
century
when
Anna,
Duchess
of
Bedford,
introduced
the
ritual
to
bridge
the
long
hours
between
luncheon
and
dinner.
What
began
as
a
simple
refreshment
soon
became
a
refined
social
occasion,
complete
with
silver
teapots,
delicate
china,
and
tiered
cake
stands
-
a
symbol
of
elegance
embraced by fashionable hotels during its golden age.
Indulge
in
the
timeless
elegance
of
Afternoon
Tea
at
The
Milestone
Hotel,
where
every
visit
is
enriched
by
the
rich
history
woven
into
our
19th
‑
century
Kensington
residence.
We
take
great
pride
in
preserving
the
tradition
of
this
quintessentially
British
ritual,
serving
classic
favourites
alongside
delicate
pastries
and
freshly
baked
scones,
all
lovingly
crafted
by
our
expert
team.
It
is
our
passion
for
tradition
that
makes
Afternoon
Tea
at
The Milestone a truly memorable experience.
