Belmond operates the British Pullman, a luxury train that transports passengers back to the heyday of rail travel in a dazzling and nostalgic manner. The train's carriages have all been painstakingly restored to their original grandeur from the 1920s and 1930s, complete with art deco accents, polished wood, luxurious upholstery, and vintage charm. The train, which combines heritage travel with contemporary comfort and five-star service, is well-known for its day travels from London to different locations throughout the English countryside.
The main hub of the British Pullman is London Victoria Station, from which it usually departs. The train then sets out on a number of picturesque excursions throughout the southern region of England. Canterbury, Bath, Oxford, Blenheim Palace, the Cotswolds, and even Chatsworth House in Derbyshire are well-liked travel destinations. Although the duration and time of each trip vary, most round-trip travels take between four and eleven hours, depending on the final location. A round trip to Canterbury, for example, might take about five hours, whereas a trip to Bath, with sightseeing, might take more like ten hours.
