You could be a part of this British affair – ‘Afternoon Tea hosted by Mary Berry’ for a price. Berry will meet her guests at London’s Victoria station before starting on a journey through the Weald of Kent aboard the vintage art-deco Belmond British Pullman train.
The approximately three and half hour round trip will take passengers through the woodlands and valleys of southeast Britain, transporting them to a ‘more glamorous age of travel’.

Prices start from GBP 300 per person.
