British Pullman - Golden Age of Travel by Steam

Relive the Golden Age of travel on a glorious steam-hauled round trip through the Kent countryside. Lose yourself in the romance and magic of 1920's Train travel.

British Pullman - A Belmond Train: The Golden Age of Travel by Steam

Nothing encapsulates the Golden Age of Travel quite like steam power. On this nostalgic journey into the Kent countryside, feel the euphoria of being aboard our loving restored vintage train, pulled by a might, gleaming steam locomotive.

Your journey back in time begins at London Victoria Station as you board the British Pullman. Your smartly uniformed steward welcomes you into your carriage, where you have time to soak up the lavish art deco details from your plush armchair. Soon, the whistle blows, the train departs and a glass of chilled champagne is in your hand. The adventure has begun!

Heading out of London and into the Kent countryside, you’ll notice crowds of onlookers smiling and waving at the train. Watching a steam engine pass is an event worth stopping for. Heralded by puffs of smoke, the sounds and smells of the engine evoke memories of a time when the journey was as magical as the destination. Today, aboard our iconic train, feel time slow down, enjoy the convivial company and relish the nostalgia.

As British Pullman chugs its way towards Canterbury and down to Dover, your steward serves a sumptuous five-course feast, prepared on board by our acclaimed chef and his expert team. The freshest produce is crafted into seasonal masterpieces, complemented by our sommelier’s choice of wines. The return journey takes you via Folkestone, giving you a glimpse of the sea, and Paddock Wood. Coffee is served before you make a dramatic, steam-hauled entrance into London Victoria. This is a true trip of a lifetime.

Day 1

We make our way this morning to the Royal town of Windsor. A visit to this majestic Castle is a must! It has witnessed so many major events throughout history. Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 40 monarchs. Time for Lunch and our included visit to the Castle before we check into the Oatlands Park Hotel. A 3 Course choice menu is included this evening.

Day 2

A hearty buffet breakfast this morning, before we head into central London to join our 1055 British Pullman Train. A Belmond Train, England is the height of train luxury. Each carriage is individually named with a unique story to tell: some have been used by the British Royal Family, others have carried President de Gaulle and Nikita Khrushchev. One was part of Winston Churchill’s funeral train. The oldest dates back to 1925, while two survived bomb damage in 1940. This truly is an exquisite experience to remember. Your journey begins as you settle into your comfortable armchair with a glass of something exquisitely chilled and sparkling.

A fine dining experience awaits in beautiful vintage carriages where liveried stewards care for your every need. Marvel at the ever-changing view through your window as you journey through the Kent countryside. We return back into London Victoria at 16:10, where our Coach awaits to whisk us home.
