British Pullman: Great British Seaside

Luxury day trip on the Belmond British Pullman to the English seaside.

The Belmond British Pullman's Great British Seaside excursion, operated by Tailor Made Rail, is a one-day luxury rail journey from London Victoria to one of four English coastal towns. You board in London and settle into Art Deco armchairs for a sparkling Bellini and three-course brunch while the train carries you toward the sea. Once you arrive at your chosen destination, Margate, Broadstairs, Whitstable, or Hastings, you have time to stroll the seafront, visit attractions, or simply enjoy the seaside atmosphere at your own pace. After exploring, you rejoin the Pullman for the return journey to London, which begins with a Champagne reception and continues with a three-course dinner accompanied by wine, coffee, and petit fours. The entire experience unfolds within a single day, making it ideal for those who want the elegance of vintage rail travel and gourmet meals without committing to an overnight away from home. This excursion suits luxury-minded travellers, couples seeking a romantic outing, and food-and-wine enthusiasts.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at £560 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

What to know before you look closer
