Room Service: Live like the Royals in London

We’re all familiar with the term keeping up with the Joneses, but how about the Cambridges?

If you’re planning a London getaway, try the neighbourhood in which Kate, Wills and baby George lay their heads. The Milestone Hotel sits across the street from Kensington Palace – the former home of Queen Victoria’s famed tea receptions – and its expansive gardens, and if you take afternoon tea (a must-do) in The Park Lounge, you’ll be within view of the majestic house and the grounds.

But teatime at The Milestone is not just a dainty affair. The hotel has introduced a Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea, where a man and his mates can sit down to savoury pork pies, Cornish pasties and maple-cured bacon scones – and a flight tasting of ale or whisky. Of course, ladies are invited, too.
