Excursion: The Golden Age of Travel by Steam Departure Date: Thu 24/10/2024 Departs from: London Victoria Departure Time (Approximately): 11:45 Return Time (Approximately): 16:00
Excursion Info: 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.
