Description

Is there any more glamorous way to travel than on board the iconic Belmond British Pullman, hauled by a magnificent steam engine? Revel in the romance of a bygone age and board a carriage dating from the 1920s and 1930s, with exquisite art deco marquetry and table lamps shedding soft light on beautifully polished brass. Once on board, be seated in comfortable armchairs and served a glass of chilled champagne each by a smart liveried steward. When the steam engine roars into life, glide out of London and into the glorious Surrey countryside as a delicious, freshly-prepared five-course meal with a half bottle of wine is served.
