A guide to the British Pullman train. The Belmond British Pullman is the sister train of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and is made up of a collection of historic Pullman carriages. Based at Victoria Station in London, the train makes regular luxury day trips and short journeys in England. A journey aboard the gleaming umber and cream carriages of the British Pullman is designed to take you back in time to the glamorous age of luxury train travel. The historical carriages date from the 1920's to 1950's and include wonderful art deco marquetry, art nouveau lamps, polished brass fittings, mosaic floors, and plush upholstery. Journeys aboard the train may include brunch, afternoon tea, a murder mystery lunch, and/or musical entertainment. Guests enjoy a meal while they watch the scenery pass by and some journeys include stops at historic cities such as Bath or Canterbury. Although many of the guests are British people celebrating a special day out, it is also a great and unique experience for visitors to London. We'll share all you need to know about the Belmond British Pullman train, from its history to how to book a journey, and we'll share loads of photos from our own trip aboard the British Pullman.

My first visit to Japan, in the early 1980s, was deeply unsettling. As a young backpacker, already familiar with much of southeast Asia, I thought I knew it all. But Tokyo destroyed my confidence. Suddenly I couldn’t speak to anyone or read anything. I couldn’t feel any personal connection with the scurrying herds of workers, heads down in the city streets, navigating an invisible labyrinth of etiquette I didn’t remotely understand. I only managed to feed myself because I was able to point at plastic models of dishes in restaurant windows. It was an alien world in which I was as helpless as a baby.
