The Milestone Hotel, The Park Lounge

We visited the Milestone Hotel in London for their Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea during the week before Easter, as a group of four (two adults and two children). From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, setting the tone for a truly pleasant experience. The ambiance is elegant and refined, with a classic, stylish atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the afternoon. The tea selection was excellent, offering a wide variety of high-quality options. That said, it would have been a nice touch to receive more specific recommendations for tea pairings with each course, as we have experienced at other top-tier venues. The scones were delicious—fresh, perfectly baked, and accompanied by a well-chosen selection of jams. The patisserie, however, was the true highlight. It was outstanding both in taste and presentation, beautifully capturing the Cherry Blossom theme with creativity and finesse. In terms of price, the Afternoon Tea is certainly in the higher range. However, for those looking to spend a refined and indulgent afternoon in an elegant setting, it is absolutely worth it.

A 5 star experience. First, the service was excellent. Thank you Gurung for your tea recommendations, taking the time to explain, and going the extra mile with your professional service. I enjoyed the intimate room and the ambiance. I also appreciate the halal option. The scones were lovely - nice and warm, lovely desserts. The only thing we felt was that the sandwiches needed a bit more seasoning. Delicious, nonetheless.
