Belmond British Pullman, UK Stepping onto the Belmond British Pullman is like being transported back to the 1920s, a time when travel was as much about style as it was about the destination. All 11 restored vintage carriages are decorated with art deco details like plush textiles, mahogany fittings and intricate marquetry work. Even before departure, the glamour begins in the Belmond waiting lounge at London’s Victoria Station, where The Spitfire Sisters, a vocal harmony trio dressed in vintage attire, set the scene with a performance straight out of the roaring twenties. The Dinner is a culinary series on the British Pullman that sees acclaimed guest chefs, Michel Roux Jr and Skye Gyngell to name a few, creating a five-course tasting menu using seasonal and sustainably sourced ingredients. English sparkling wine flows while the train chugs along the rolling countryside. For its standard service, Belmond has also partnered with Luminary Bakery, a social enterprise bakery that supports disadvantaged women, for its damson baba. Departs from London Victoria Station.
