British Pullman: Golden Age of Travel by Steam
All Aboard the British Pullman

The beautiful carriages of the Belmond British Pullman will be waiting for you at London Victoria, each with its own unique history and design. Onboard, you’ll be shown to your armchair-style seats around a table set with starched white linen, specially commissioned British Pullman china and sparkling cut glassware. Sit back and watch the changing scenery of Kent pass by your window as your liveried steward serves you a welcome glass of Champagne. Lunch will be a seasonal menu of five courses, skilfully prepared by the onboard chefs and followed by coffee and petits fours.

Onboard Extras

If you’re celebrating a special occasion, why not buy a unique gift for your loved one which will be waiting for you when you board the train?

Gift options include the iconic Pullman teddy bear, a celebration cake, a hand-tied bunch of flowers or a pair of Pullman Champagne flutes. Just let us know if you would like to add one of these to your package. Prices available on request.

Add London Accommodation to Your Trip

If you are coming down to London from far-afield, we can add hotel accommodation before and after your trip so that you can turn your British Pullman day trip into an exciting city break! We can offer a selection of hotels near to London Victoria station as featured below, including the beautiful Grosvenor Hotel (pictured) which actually has an exit onto the station concourse. Alternatively, you might prefer to stay in a different part of the city, depending on the places you would like to visit – and your departure station back to where you live.
