There is something so timeless about a cross country train journey. Sitting up against a window, watching scenery go by as you cross from one border to the next. Even in 2016, there are still luxury train services dedicated to maintaining this culture. The Belmond British Pullman, sister train to the Venice Simplon-Orient Express, may just be the finest one in London.
This journey through the English countryside will be one of pure indulgence. Select your seat in one of the vintage 1920s style carriages while you raise a glass and your pinky to the beautiful British backdrop. The train will take you to your future destination while transporting you back in time with traditional English flare. The train will now boast an additional testament to Britain through a series of pop up dinners curated by English celebrity chefs this summer, 2016.
Why go to a static restaurant, when you can have cuisine that rivals London’s best establishments aboard a moving train? Using fresh local produce, each course will be prepared using inspiration from the views right outside your cabin window. Here is all you need to know about the three haute chefs and their curated experiences aboard the Belmond British Pullman.
