Dining
Cheneston's Restaurant
Deriving its name from an early spelling of Kensington, Cheneston's is our intimate restaurant offering the finest modern British cuisine, featuring favourites from our owner and founder, Mrs Tollman's cookery book. As one would expect, we have an extensive wine list to accompany your meal or we may even be able to cater for a specific request, just ask.
The Park Lounge
The Park Lounge is a warm and cosy retreat, just right for Afternoon Tea, with an open fireplace and sumptuous comfort with 'sink and stay' armchairs and sofas. The views of Kensington Gardens allows an escape to the country, making it hard to believe you are in the heart of the capital.
Stables Bar
Step inside The Milestone’s newly renovated Stables Bar, named as an homage to the original use of the building in which it resides. Panelled with dark wood, sporting sophisticated leather and tartan-clad soft furnishings and paintings from Belgian sporting artist Elie Lambert, the Stables Bar provides a refined and comfortable setting. Green leather banquettes and moodily lit corners contrast beautifully with the natural light that streams into the high-ceilinged conservatory space.
The Oratory
The Oratory at The Milestone is a special place for small events, private dining, celebrations and weddings. The original chapel of the building, The Oratory's original features are quite remarkable. Steeping in history, there is nowhere better to dine in elegant style with total privacy and discreet, effortless service. Whether you are entertaining clients, planning the perfect proposal, or celebrating a special occasion with close family or friends, our unique venue lends itself perfectly.
