The British Pullman is a Belmond train, departing from London Victoria Station — occasionally steam-hauled — for a programme of elegant day journeys across England and Wales. As the English counterpart to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, it shares the same heritage carriages: exquisite marquetry, authentic art deco fixtures and liveried stewards attending to every detail.
Journeys range from non-stop round-trip dining experiences through the Kent countryside to full-day excursions visiting Britain's most celebrated destinations: stately homes, racecourses, vineyards, cathedral cities and Georgian spa towns. Whether brunch on the outward leg or a five-course dinner on the return, every meal features seasonal British produce paired with fine wines.
For special occasions, the British Pullman can also be privately chartered for groups of any size, offering bespoke menus, on-board entertainment and access to destinations throughout Great Britain.
