The Cutty Sark & Afternoon Tea

From the dizzy height of the main mast to the surprises below deck, step aboard and discover the best Cutty Sark has to offer.

 

The historic tea clipper is one of the mose famous sights along the River Thames. But why was Greenwich chosen as Cutty Sark's final home?

 

Step back in time and voyage through more than 150 years of seafaring history. Uncover tales of life on board, steer Cutty Sark from Sydney to London, and learn how the ship set sail through hands-on exhibits. Historic photographs, films and interactive ship plans help bring the famous tea clipper’s story to life. 

 

Enjoy stunning views across the River Thames. Look out at the London skyline, spot the landmarks spread around you and snap that all-important picture with the deck and rigging surrounding you.

 

Reach up and touch the copper hull of the ship that made Cutty Sark the fastest of its day. The Dry Dock is one of the most dramatic locations in London, with the ship hovering in mid-air above you.

 

Indulge in a special afternoon tea sitting directly beneath Cutty Sark's  iconic copper-clad hull. 

Enjoy a selection of teas, sandwiches and sweet treats as you marvel at the historic engineering of the fastest ship of its day.
