The Milestone Hotel


The Milestone Hotel

Well this is today's hotel in my ever moving hotel tour of London and it's all rather nice. Eastern European doorman, 50s faced northerners behind the concierge desk, stout receptionists in sensible shoes, mint on your pillow, Laura Ashley on your duvet, Union Jack flying, unused pool owning, floorboard creaking, porn disguising (special offer 24 hour internet access that just happens to unlock all porn) and overlooking the park. A shame then that it's miles from anywhere you'd want to be and seems to repel taxis.

And it's "been awarded the first prize for ‘Best Garden for a Small Hotel’ by the Chelsea and Kensington Association". Well, well.

I think if I had 24 hour internet access I wouldn't bother with the porn - I'd make me own via webcam... kids today, they want it all on a plate!
Hope we're still on for tomorrow, let me know when they let you of the leash, and I shall unpack me snow shoes in case they've moved you to Highgate by then
