Dine and drama on board The Murdér Express
With many Londoners starved of theatre and foodie experiences in recent months, why not combine both as the capital’s fabulous immersive production returns in spring 2021. Climb onboard ‘The Murdér Express’, a luxury rail service making its maiden journey from London to the fictional town of Murdér in France. A 19th century train carriage is the setting for an evening of food, drink and drama.
Enjoy a four-course feast
Guests are invited in their ‘bubbles’ up to six to arrive at Pedley Street Station, where they can refresh ahead of their trip at the Seven Sins Bar. As the train chugs into motion, passengers of ‘The Murdér Express’ will be joined by East End Costermong Frank, music hall star Tilley, widow Vera and antique dealer Cliff, as some strange scenes unfold. Visitors can relax in a plush booth as they are served a four-course meal designed by MasterChef 2017 finalist Louisa Ellis.

Ohgosh this place looks gorgeous! What do you mean it goes to the fictional town of France?? Really curious🧐🥰 Sounds GRAND❤
I believe the windows are screens so you feel like you’re on a moving train during your experience. I think they don’t want to give too much away so you’re surprised 🙂
