Highlights
  • Cutty Sark - Cutty Sark is the world’s sole-surviving tea clipper, celebrated for her record-breaking passages around the globe. Come aboard and experience what it was like to sail this much-loved national icon.

Initially built for the China tea trade and launched in 1869, Cutty Sark’s original wooden planks and iron frames have been meticulously conserved. As part of an ambitious six-year conservation project, the ship was raised over three metres, giving visitors the unique opportunity to stand directly underneath this world wonder and see her elegant lines and ground-breaking design. It has now been developed into an award-winning museum and visitor experience.

Your entrance ticket will allow you to explore her in full. Discover what life was like on board a true survivor of the seas, see the sailors’ quarters and take the helm at the ship’s wheel.Stand on the main deck and marvel at the towering masts and 11 miles of rigging, take the helm at the ship’s wheel, and enjoy fabulous views of the River Thames.

Located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Maritime Greenwich, the National Maritime Museum and the Queen’s House are both located within a short walking distance from Cutty Sark and are free to visit. The Royal Observatory is a must-see attraction when visiting Greenwich as its the home of GMT and the Prime Meridian.

Lovely Ship - Very interesting visit telling you about the ship and the origins and trade in tea. The cafe beneath the hull was pleasant. Although a little disappointed the gift shop didn't sell Cutty Sark branded tea. :-(

Part of a Nice Day out with the Family - I took the children to the Cutty Sark and they thoroughly enjoyed it. We got to explore the main deck and walk underneath the ship too. It's very sad to think that a fire burnt down part of the original but a great job was done with the restoration. There are many pubs nearby for lunch afterwards as well as Greenwich Market.

Grand old lady of the sea. - Much has changed since I visited the Cutty Sark 35 years ago. They have certianly done a wonderful restoration job on her which will ensure she's there for many years to come. Exploring the ship was fun and interesting, but my family really enjoyed the talk about sea sayings and the rope knot tying activity. Lots of interesting information about her history and fame. Cafe below selling the usual snacks and drinks. Shop containing quality souvenirs. One of the more unusual attractions on the London Tourist circuit. Has always had a special place in my heart.

Well worth a visit.. - Quite an amazing ship and haven't been to see it for years and it so much better now. Its really great as you can go under the ship now. Its history is well laid out. Its is a bit pricey but get the joint ticket which allows entry to other attractions too and of course the Maritime Museum is free, so think of it as a total package,

Well Preserved Piece of History - Very Interesting and well maintained ship. Some good explanation about the tea trade and other personal stories about life on board. Staff all friendly & helpful, had some activities for the kids (half term) Not a huge amount to see, ~ 1 hour. Good café for coffee beneath the ship. No GF food options.

A museum ship - The Cutty Sark is a museum ship. We could go to two floors and top but I was a little disappointed that more of the interior was not visible. We were able to do this visit in an hour so it felt a bit expensive. Tickets can be bought on arrival.

Good, but expensive - A beautiful ship. Very interesting history she has. Well preserved. Unfortunately the ticket price is very high, especially in relation to time spent.
