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.

What a great way to spend an hour. We got a real sense of what life would have been like as a crew member in the 19tj century. Big shout out to the guide on the ship who spent 15 mins answering our questions and giving us loads of fascinating information. His name was Graeme Tripp I believe and he was an excellent ambassador for The Cutty Sark
The ship has been beautifully restored. Signage and short films take you through the exhibits. This is a good venue if you have mobility challenges as there are elevators to all floors. Remember that your entrance fees help support the maintenance of this amazing piece of history. Don't miss this museum if you're in the Greenwich area.
From the London Bridge pier to the Greenwich pier by local boat, it appears on your right after arriving at Greenwich. It was a beautiful sailing ship. There is also a shop at the entrance.
Nice visit inside the ship, with historical notes, experiences for adults and children that are quite interesting, satisfying all ages.
Gentile Escape58179788897, grazie mille per questa bellissima recensione! Siamo felici che la visita alla nave, con i suoi cenni storici e le esperienze pensate per adulti e bambini, sia piaciuta a tutta la famiglia. Speriamo di rivedervi presto a bordo!
Don’t forget to use the discount code if you travelled on the train. That makes it good value. Otherwise, not the best museum, the best view was the dry dock showing the hull of the boat.
Dear 57andy, thank you for your feedback. We're glad the dry dock and hull view stood out for you. It's also worth knowing there's plenty more to explore, including our free SMARTIFY audio guide, as well as added-value activities and talks – we hope you'll come back and discover more of what's on offer!
Loved it. My son is currently obsessed with ships and he had the best time. Shout out to Cleveland and his rope knot tutorial. He was so approachable and patient with my son. Thank you.
Dear 281mrst, thank you for such a lovely review! We're so glad your son had the best time — Cleveland will be delighted to hear his rope knot tutorial was such a hit, and that his patience made the experience extra special. Hope to see you both back on board soon!
We took a group of Scouts and Explorer Scouts to the Cutty Sark Museum. We enjoyed the interactive displays and information and especially the knowledgeable guides who demonstrated and then got the young people involved in knot tying. Overall a great way to spend a couple of hours
Dear 302vincer, thank you for bringing your Scouts and Explorer Scouts to visit us! We're so glad the group enjoyed the interactive displays, and that our guides' knot-tying demonstrations got everyone hands-on and involved. Hope to see you all back on board again soon!
Great experience Great fun for everyone children and adults. Great views lots of information done in an easy format
A repeat visit after about 50 years. A much enhanced visit and well worthwhile. I was particularly impressed with the person at the desk who, without any nonsense, recognised my Son’s disability lanyard and made the payment adjustment without drawing attention to him personally. Clearly she and the disability awareness training received has been excellent. Thank you
Dear Rtmcghwerfdsghj, it is so lovely to read that you returned to visit 50 years since your last! We are so happy to see that the visit didn't disappoint. We do hope to see you back on board soon :)
Very enjoyable experience great customer service given by Eduaduo and Sophie when purchasing tickets from the desk they were outstanding 👏
Dear Navigator699110, thank you so much for your lovely review and visit with us :). We will pass on your lovely words to the team and hope to see you back on board soon!
