Cutty Sark once held the record for the fastest voyage from Australia to Britain, cementing its reputation for speed.

The ship sits within the historic Maritime Greenwich area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its global maritime importance.

Cutty Sark is part of Royal Museums Greenwich and remains one of London’s most significant historic ships.

Why visit Cutty Sark?

Walk beneath the hull

Experience a rare perspective by strolling directly under the Cutty Sark’s beautifully restored copper hull, a feat of 19th-century engineering.

Step Into maritime history

Peek into the captain’s quarters, complete with period furnishings, and imagine life at sea during the golden age of clippers.

Interactive and family-friendly exhibits

Enjoy hands-on displays and multimedia presentations that bring the ship’s global journeys and the tea trade to life.

Award-winning restoration

We went to see westlife at the 02 arena, the cable car allowed us to see the arena from the other side and see how large it actually is, we were able to watch the climbers at the top of the arena too. We then saw a food festival that was happening on the other side and someone was water boarding too. It just made our whole day magical. I will definitely be back again soon as we would love to show my children and grandchild the other side of London. Many thanks for making our day special

It was a very smooth entry and no queue. It was such an amazing view and the heights it reached was phoenmonal. Lasted 20 mins for there and back, and was smooth. The most break taking views and good service.

It was the highlight of our trip to London this year and will remain unforgettable. A great team took care of us, and the view was spectacular. The weather cooperated too: it was sunny with pleasant temperatures and, above all, not windy. Highly recommended.

I wanted to embark on a new and exciting experience during my short stay in the city. I was not in the least deterred and the activity met all my expectations. Josh -our guide- was pleasant and fun to listen to all along. I will likely book again at another time of the day or for another spécial occasion.

An incredible journey through the history of the UK and maritime adventures, brought vividly to life through the stories of sailors and the beautifully preserved artifacts like the iconic Cutty Sark! We were also fortunate to be welcomed by lively shanty singers, adding to the atmosphere. Concluding our visit, we enjoyed a delicious brownie at the dry dock, making for a truly memorable experience.

A very interesting visit to this legend of the seas, the Cutty Sark. It is very pleasant to see that this witness to the past is extremely well preserved. One can appreciate what life on board such a ship was like, and in a way, the courage and boldness of the sailors of that era who risked their lives to bring the precious tea to London and the United Kingdom.
