Stratford-upon-Avon

Your Journey

Step onto the carriages of British Pullman and take your seat in stunning Art Deco surrounds. You're on your way to Stratford-upon-Avon, a beautiful historic town and the birthplace of legendary playwright William Shakespeare.

Begin your journey at London Victoria Station and soak up every sumptuous detail of the vintage train, from the authentic art deco interiors to the stewards’ iconic uniforms. Relax in your armchair at a table set with white linen and bespoke glassware. Take your first sip of a sparkling Bellini and know that your adventure has begun. A delicious brunch is served as you glide towards Warwickshire, absorbing the changing landscapes through the window. This is the perfect opportunity to slow down, reconnect and let time take on new meaning as you’re transported back to the Golden Age of travel. On arrival at Stratford-upon-Avon, it’s a virtually level walk all the way down to the riverside with various pubs, cafes and shops to tempt you along the way. Stroll through the Bancroft Gardens, adjacent to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on the river, visit Shakespeare’s Birthplace or simply relax and soak up the ambience – the choice is yours! Many of the town’s earliest and most important buildings are located along the Historic Spine, which begins at Shakespeare’s Birthplace in Henley Street and runs through to the High Street. Rejoin British Pullman in the late afternoon. Shortly after boarding you’ll find yourself with a glass of chilled champagne in hand, which is soon followed by a sensational four-course dinner. Our sommelier’s choice of wines accompanies the seasonal menu, with coffee served before you arrive back in London.
