Run to the Milestone Hotel Afternoon Tea!

As Londoners, we’re always looking for the best afternoon tea. Today I’ll say the Milestone Hotel Afternoon Tea finishes strong.

Milestone Hotel London Afternoon Tea

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend this hotel’s afternoon tea, along with 25 other fabulous London bloggers.

Located at 1 Kensington Court, London W8 5DL, the hotel is adjacent to Hyde Park. The lobby is small and charming.

We kicked off Afternoon Tea with a glass of bubbly.

We had the chance to eat:

–          Smoked Scottish salmon and cream cheese

–          Free-range egg mayonnaise and Hampshire watercress

–          Roast ham and English mustard

–          Mull of Kintyre Cheddar and tomato

–          Cucumber

–          Chicken mayonnaise with chopped almonds

Milestone Hotel London Afternoon TeaI didn’t opt for gluten free because after my 5 mile morning run, I just wanted to indulge. The chicken mayonnaise sandwiches were my absolute favourite!

The pastries included:

–          Eclairs

–          Tartlets

–          Cupcakes

–          Cakes

–          Macaroons

At first, I was a bit anxious because there was about 8 of us at a table with one tiny tray of food. Forget the best photo opp… I wanted to eat!

However, after a few minutes, the Milestone Hotel Afternoon Tea staff covered our table with additional plates full of more sandwiches, scones and pastries.

I made my waistband work it and ate everything. Twice!

Ok…. Maybe three times!

I just couldn’t help myself. I had to go the extra mile and make room for it all.

We had a blast at the most recent #LDNBLOGGERSTEA. I’m really glad I ran a few extra miles the morning of the Milestone Hotel Afternoon Tea. It was worth it!Milestone Hotel London Afternoon Tea

    Don’t you love being a runner? It means you can eat practically anything you want without feeling guilty. Pretty sure that’s the only reason I do it… 🙂

      Sarah, it definitely has its benefits. It’ll take a few days to run off all those cupcakes though. But I don’t feel guilty. They were divine! Hope to see you soon. We missed you there!

      It was great! I truly enjoyed the sandwiches and pastries. I hear the afternoon tea in their tea room is really fabulous. It seems ours was a bit different in the private room though.

      Thank you! It was very enjoyable. From what I hearthough, they do a much better job on individual teas than when people reserve private rooms.
