Welcome to Town House Kensington

“ Townhouse Kensington is such a great spot. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. What really stood out was the staff , everyone had a smile on their face and made the experience feel genuinely pleasant from start to finish. A perfect place for a relaxed meal with great food and great energy. I’ll definitely be back. ”

“ Had such a lovely afternoon experience and the team were very welcoming and friendly. Big shout out to Ash and Alaika! There was a live illustrator too who drew us whilst we were enjoying our afternoon tea. The desserts were really great and the scones even better, sandwiches were a little on the basic side but they kindly gave us a refill. It was raining a bit outside and Alaika kindly had our illustration wrapped in cling film so that it was not damaged on the walk to the station. Really considerate and helpful ”

“ I visited for afternoon tea with my in-laws for the first time, and we couldn't have been more delighted. Every detail was meticulously taken care of, from our table to the cutlery, not to mention the exquisite food. The customer service exceeded my expectations. Initially, I didn't expect an afternoon tea to leave me feeling so full, but we ended up taking some of the pastries home with us instead. The sandwiches, especially the cucumber and apple sandwich and the coronation chicken sandwich, were fantastic. The scones with clotted cream and jam were also delightful. The overall experience was nothing short of amazing, and my in-laws were equally thrilled. The atmosphere exudes luxury, and you feel so comfortable that it's like being in your own home. I highly, highly recommend it. I would happily return every weekend. ”

“ We ordered fish and chips. The portion was huge. My husband and I could have shared. Good service. Fun place. ”

“ The food tasted great and was all gorgeously presented. The ambience is fantastic and great for a special event with family or close friends with the option to provide an occasion for your booking in advance. However, as with fine dining, the menu is small and while tasting great came at quite a steep price. Additionally, there was often quite a long wait for each course of the meal even though it was not very busy. You pay for the lavish experience to enjoy with company. ”

“ Spent a lovely, relaxing couple of hours here after visiting the V&A. As we didn't have a reservation, we were offered service in the lounge area. Wonderful, unhurried service. The young lady waitress was very helpful kind and professional. They even offered to charge my phone with their concierge, as my battery was completely flat. Delicious food and very nice facilities. Nice treat, just 10 minutes walk away from the busy South Kensington area...delightful ”
