Day train

British Pullman

Belmond's vintage day train from London, for long lunches, dinners and celebrations.

The British Pullman is the sister train of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, departing from London Victoria. Its restored Pullman carriages date from the 1920s and 1930s, each with its own history and fine marquetry. Most journeys are day trips, with lunch or dinner served at your seat as the countryside passes by.

Some journeys include visits to historic towns and stately homes, while others simply loop through the countryside over a long meal. Celia, a private carriage designed by Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, launched in 2026 for celebrations of up to 12 guests.
