Dress to impress and step into a world of decadence aboard the British Pullman, A Belmond Train. This splendid train transports you back to an age when train travel was utterly luxurious, where passengers sat in comfortable armchairs to savour the views in comfort and were wined and dined as they travelled.
Our day trip to Kent from London evokes the Golden Age of Travel. You'll board the British Pullman at London Victoria, checking in at the plush ticket office and waiting at the private platform, before smartly dressed stewards show you to your seat, set around tables of two, three or four. Each carriage has a name, a fascinating history, and a distinct style and personality. Perhaps you'll board Audrey (that once carried Queen Elizabeth II) or Pheonix (the favourite carriage of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother), or maybe Cygnus, a carriage recently reimagined by American filmmaker Wes Anderson and opulently furnished in fine fabrics.
As the train pulls away from the station, you'll sip a perfectly chilled glass of champagne as the urban landscape evolves into Kent countryside. Soon, you'll relax over a delicious and imaginative, seasonal five-course lunch by Head Chef Jon Freeman, complemented by the sommelier's selection of wines. This farm to plate adventure is inspired by Kent's finest quality produce from tasty asparagus, cherries and apples to Romney Marsh lamb and Whitstable oysters. The Chef has handpicked each supplier, farmer and artisan producer for their passion and devotion to quality.
Savour the last hour of your round trip back to London, sipping on tea and coffee served alongside petit fours as you gaze outside at the beautiful scenery.
