Champagne Veuve Clicquot Afternoon Tea

British Pullman afternoon tea round trip through Kent's Weald

Illustration of Champagne Veuve Clicquot Afternoon Tea

Belmond's British Pullman train runs this single-day afternoon tea excursion as a round trip from London Victoria, traveling through Greater London and into the Weald of Kent before returning, without stopping anywhere along the way. A steward provides fine-dining silver service at a table set with white linen and bespoke china, serving a Great British afternoon tea of sandwiches, savoury delicacies, cakes, pastries, and scones, along with half a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne per person. The Reims-based champagne house has been making wine since 1772 and was the first to produce a rosé champagne. Travelers sit in the train's restored art deco carriages throughout the round trip. This suits travelers who want a short, purely on-board indulgence, a few hours of tea, champagne, and vintage rail scenery, without a coach transfer or a destination to visit.

What to know before you look closer

  • Unlike some other British Pullman day trips, this excursion has no offboard stop; travelers remain on the train for the entire round trip while afternoon tea is served.
  • The evidence pack does not list a starting price or current departure dates for this trip; confirm both directly with Belmond.
