Step aboard the Cutty Sark, the last tea clipper of its kind still afloat in dry dock. Explore every deck from the rigging above to the cargo holds below, then walk beneath the hull itself for a rare view of the ship's copper-clad keel.
Reasons to go
Full description
The Cutty Sark is a genuine survivor: built in 1869 as one of the fastest tea clippers of its era, it now sits dry-docked in Greenwich, fully restored and open for visitors to walk its decks and explore below, including a viewing area beneath the hull. A high must-see score and strong rating across tens of thousands of reviews confirm it as a proper Greenwich landmark rather than a niche maritime curiosity, popular with families for its interactive, climb-aboard nature.
Its expensive ticket price reflects the cost of maintaining a historic ship as a visitor attraction. At 75 minutes, it combines naturally with the nearby National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory.

Reviews
This historical ship is a cool experience. It is a fun place to take the family as it has plenty for children to enjoy including dressing up as a ship crew member. There is some amazing views of the ship from the inside and outside and there is also a ride just outside with some nice shops and a great food market near…
