Historic Canterbury

Your Journey

Travel back in time aboard the British Pullman luxury train to medieval Canterbury.

Your journey today aboard the celebrated British Pullman train, takes you to the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, which has welcomed countless visitors over its 2,000-year history. Pilgrims have journeyed here since medieval times to honour the shrine of Archbishop Thomas Becket, who was murdered in his own cathedral in 1170. Brunch with a Bellini is served on your outward journey as you course through south-east London and the Kent countryside. On arrival at Canterbury East, you are invited to join a guided walk to the cathedral where a garden party and “hidden places” tour will be offered along with refreshments. Alternatively you can wander the city freely and explore Canterbury's cobbled streets and delightful shops. You then re-join the train at Canterbury West, please note the different departure station, where you board the gleaming carriages of our iconic train, for your leisurely journey back to London. A delicious glass of chilled champagne is served along with an indulgent three course dinner and half a bottle of wine before the train pulls into London Victoria.
