Your Journey
Detailed information
Your journey today takes you to the ancient city of Canterbury which has welcomed countless visitors over its 2000 year history. Pilgrims have journeyed there for centuries to the shrine of Archbishop Thomas à Becket who was murdered in his own cathedral in 1170.

A delicious Brunch with Bellini is served on your outward journey. On arrival at Canterbury West you will be met by your guide for the short coach transfer to the cathedral where you can enjoy a guided tour. Your guide will then accompany you on a guided walking tour of the city or you may prefer to explore at your leisure. You will see on your walk that much of the medieval character celebrated in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales has been retained in the narrow streets and houses. You are asked to make your own way back to Canterbury West station to rejoin the British Pullman for your return journey to London Victoria. A glass of chilled champagne is served as soon as you board the train. This is followed by a delicious four course meal accompanied by half a bottle of wine.

Rail News & Updates
 
The Orient-Express
The British Pullman takes its name from George Mortimer Pullman, an American, who in 1864 built The Pioneer, the first railway carriage designed with true comfort for the passenger. The later creation of the Pullman Car Company in 1882 led to his domination of luxury train travel in Britain from that time onwards.
