Why we love it
The setting
The Milestone Hotel sits on Kensington Court, a quiet street that faces Kensington Palace and its gardens. The red-brick Victorian building dates from the 1880s and keeps its period detail inside, from wood-panelled rooms to a grand staircase. You are in one of London's calmer central districts, a few minutes from the shops and cafes of Kensington High Street.
What to expect
Rooms follow a classic English style, with patterned fabrics, antique-look furniture and marble bathrooms. The Superior Double has a full double bed and runs about 20 square metres. There is an indoor pool and a small gym on site, plus a wood-panelled restaurant for dinner. The room rate here is room only, so breakfast can be added when you book.
Things to do nearby
Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are a short walk north, giving you miles of paths and lawns. High Street Kensington, with its shops and restaurants, is about 400 metres away, and the antique dealers along Kensington Church Street are roughly the same distance. Buckingham Palace is 3.2 km east if you want to combine a stay here with the main royal sights.
Best for
A good pick for couples or solo travellers who want a traditional, comfortable London base near the parks, with quiet streets rather than crowds at the door.
