You can walk around this piece of history inside and out and gain a real sense of what it was like to be winging around the world on it. It's been restored with great taste and accuracy and a real treat for sailing enthusiasts and everyone else for that matter. Ideally followed by a trip of the river from Greenwich boats adjunct to the ship or whatever it's called. Alternatively, there's a really good pub visible on the corner or lots of good places for lunch or dinner nearby.

This place gives tourist attractions a bad name. The entire concept of preserving history seems to have some alternative meaning here. In 2014 this ship caught fire, which was caused by a vacuum cleaner being left on overnight and burning out and causing the ship to catch fire. This was totally an accident as the next day the people running tourist attraction were happy as they could now rebuild the ship how they wanted. The staff here had never been happy with the ship as they felt the original condition of the ship was not historic enough in their eyes and they wanted to rebuild it and change it so that it is no longer original so that it would become a fake piece of history, which somehow makes the staff think that this makes it a better historic ship than the real thing. Does not make the slightest bit of sense.
Cutty Sark built in 1869, first voyage departed London on 15 February 1870. The exterior of the ship is visible for free but if you want to get more insight into its history and a tour of the ship itself it’ll cost you 15.
This place depicts vividly what was the experience of being a seaman, centuries before the contemporary concept of a sailor existed. I was not fully aware of the extent that the tea trade had on the development of marine practices, as well as its weight on the British Empire economic machine - until I've visited this place. Hopefully we'll be back, and will bring our kids along.
Amazing! This is a great place to go in London to see an old ship and learn so much history. It's got so much to see and experience, very hands on and the views are incredible. Perfect for all ages and groups, there's something for everyone and you can see every part of the ship. There's also a gift shop and café too and it's mostly indoors (apart from the deck) so you can also go on a rainy day!
Love the area, vibrant, markets around and historical.From there you can see Canary Wharf and also far out The Shard etc
A place with a good view. Can chilla and maybe grab some food from nearby stalls. A soothing and beautiful place to be at.
Wonderful family day out! Third trip and it still doesn’t get old!️️ prebook is a must. We were running late for our slot but luckily it wasn’t crowded and so we still gained entry. There was a half hour tour- very funny and knowledgeable! Great interaction with the younger kids; they were very engaged- not boring at all! Even though social distancing was practised a lot of the features were interactive: The Sail Route from Sydney to London, search into the ships archive to see if your surname was logged in the ships records, and walking around the main deck. We will be back again!
