Cutty Sark was launched in 1869 and was designed specifically for the China-Britain tea trade.

The ship features a composite hull, combining an iron frame with wooden planking and copper alloy sheathing, which can be viewed up close from beneath the vessel today.

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

Marvel at the meticulous restoration that preserves the ship’s original features while offering modern visitor comforts.

Scenic Greenwich location

Enjoy the ship’s picturesque setting by the Thames, surrounded by other top attractions like the Royal Observatory and Greenwich Market.

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.

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.

A visit to the Cutty Sark is interesting, but going to the Royal Observatory is fascinating—especially the view from the top. And it’s definitely worth taking the boat ride along the Thames to get there.
