 Historic train trips and retro pop-up tea
Savour a bygone era with a historic steam train trip and a retro pop-up tea and cake treat in Metro-land. We’ve teamed up with Tea Darling, organisers of retro vintage tea parties, to offer a one-off experience. Passengers can travel on a beautifully restored steam train and then sip tea and eat Victoria sponge cake from ornate crockery while listening to old-time music at Watford Tube station.
