Bring together the thrill of a trip on the Belmond Northern Belle luxury train and the 'wow' factor of a dazzling London West End show.
On the outward journey a fine dining experience awaits. Take a seat in your vintage carriage, which brings back the style of the famous “Belle” trains of the 1930s. Inspect the handcrafted details of your carriage, such as the lovingly restored mosaics and murals.
Liveried stewards serve you at your elegant set table, crisp linen, cut glass and fine sileverare. Enjoy the passing scenery from the comfort of your plush armchair on the journey to the capital.
Arriving at around midday you will be escorted by coach to the theatre near London Victoria Station, ready for the matinee performance.
Return to the train after the show for a delightful champagne reception. Look forward to more delicious delights, a four-course dinner accompanied by our sommelier’s selection of wine.
Afterwards, stroll through the train’s individually decorated carriages admiring unique vintage flourishes as well as mingling with your fellow guests. Without doubt this a perfect finish to an unforgettable day.
