Capture the spirit of yesteryear on a magical journey to either Bicester Village, with its abundance of designer boutiques, or the historic city of Oxford, famed for its golden stone architecture and dreaming spires.

 

Leaving Surrey behind, we travel across West London where our steam locomotive joins us for the day. From here, the Chiltern Hills unfold in all their glory – a landscape of rolling chalk ridges, peaceful woodland, and timeless charm, as our engine is put through her paces.

Whether you choose the spacious boulevards of Bicester Village or the elegance of Oxford, your day promises discovery, indulgence, and a touch of nostalgia.

This trip is steam-hauled to and from West London.
