Step back in time to a more glamorous era aboard the Orient Express on South Bank, when a carriage from the iconic British Pullman train goes on show outside the BFI Southbank.
Agatha Christie
Part of the Agatha Christie Weekender at BFI Southbank, which celebrates the 120th anniversary of the famous crime novelist's birth, the Orient Express on South Bank sees the Zena carriage from the historic British Pullman train go on show. The train carriage has been transported by the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, and the occasion marks the first time in ten years that a carriage from the Orient Express fleet has been taken off the rails.
Murder afoot
Visitors to the Orient Express on South Bank can step on board and revel in the glamour and luxurious decor of the original 1920s carriage, which is part of the sister train to the one featured in Murder on the Orient Express. One of Christie's most enduringly popular novels since it was published in 1934, Murder on the Orient Express encapsulates much of the appeal of the author's work, with drama, mystery, and of course the fictional Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.
Poirot
