British Pullman à Londres : Luxe et Gastronomie

3-day London stay with a gourmet day aboard the British Pullman

British Pullman à Londres : Luxe et Gastronomie, a rail journey with Discovery Trains

Discovery Trains runs this 3-day, 2-night stay in London built around a single day aboard the Belmond British Pullman, the twin train to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Travelers arrive independently on day one and join a half-day guided walk through Covent Garden and Neal's Yard before a private tour of Westminster Abbey. Day two is spent aboard the Pullman's restored 1920s and 1930s Art Deco carriages, with a champagne welcome and a gourmet lunch and dinner paired with selected wines, while the train makes a round trip to Bath or Oxford depending on the date. The third day is left free, with an optional Afternoon Tea in an English tea room. This suits travelers who want one luxury train day bookended by a short, independent London stay, rather than a longer multi-city rail tour.
