The ancient and picturesque city of Canterbury was the inspiration for Chaucer's masterpiece "The Canterbury Tales". From the cobbled streets and ancient walls to the timber-framed houses and the world-famous Cathedral; this city is bursting with culture and history.
Your British Pullman journey begins at London Victoria Station. Check in at the Pullman office located near platform 1 and then make your way to the train where you will be greeted by stewards who will show you to your carriage. Next, you will be presented with an ice-cold sparkling Bellini; the perfect accompaniment to this beautiful June day. As the train pulls away, take the time to admire the stunning art deco interior of your carriage. Before you know it, your three-course brunch will be served. After a leisurely meal and perhaps a top-up of sparkling wine, the British Pullman will arrive in the historic cathedral city of Canterbury just after mid-day. You will have the choice to join a guided walk to the cathedral where a garden party and “hidden places” tour will be offered along with refreshments, or you can explore the city independently.
After a few hours, re-join the Pullman at Canterbury where you will return to your plush armchair for your relaxing journey back to London. You will take a three-course meal with wine pairings back onboard the British Pullman.
