Join an immersive and interactive murder mystery on board the British Pullman, one of Britain's most opulent and luxurious trains. Each carriage has been beautifully restored, and has a captivating story of the adventures they've been on and the celebrities and regal guests they've hosted.
Spend the night before your day trip at Eccleston Square Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel just minutes from Victoria Station. With luxurious Hästens beds and state-of-the-art facilities in your Queen Room, you're guaranteed a comfortable night, leaving you feeling sharp for a day of sleuthing.
You'll be welcomed on board with a glass of delightfully chilled Champagne.

Lunch is rounded off with coffee, tea and petit fours as you ponder each enigmatic character you'll meet throughout the afternoon.
