    Fantastic experience. Also nearby Greenwich has a lot to offer including the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich Market, the Emirates Airlines Cable Car experience & amazing views of the London Skyline. You can also take the pedestrian tunnel to the other side of Thames which is an amazing experience in itself. The City Sark experience in my opinion comes with all this. Highly recommended.

    Short skirt is the name if you loosely translate it in English. It was built in Scotland and its purpose was to do regular tea runs from China to Britain to get our nicotine levels topped up. It was a cargo merchant ship speed racer equivalent of a sumo wrestler running full speed carrying another sumo on his shoulders. Back in 19th century, one round trip to China used to take more than 3 months with fully loaded cargo and Cutty Sark went much further to Australia and back many times. It has travelled through many time zones, storms, wars and fire to be called the last surviving clipper ship but the most amazing thing about it is that it's service life was maximum 30 years but it lasted way longer than its expiry date and still standing.

    We were very impressed with the work they've done to preserve the ship and to create the visitors centre. It was very informative. Very quiet and it’s not so crowded.

    A totally unique historical ship that was the fastest sailing ship ever made. Beautifully renovated and carefully restored to as near original as possible and well presented with educational video and detailed photographic records of historical activity and the recent history.

  • 5/5 Victoria P. 2 years ago on Google
    A really well thought out experience. The audio tour that you can access on your phone is excellent (and has a video with BSL as well), and I was pleased to see and one-way system still in place. So interesting to see and imagine the history of this ship, and the exhibition items are few but significant, giving a flavour of the people involved in the ship's life. I love the Christmas lights!

    The last tea clipper of the British trade fleet is attractively presented on dry dock near the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and can be visited with a combo ticket for the Observatory. Keep in mind the last admission is at 16:30 and the museum closes at 17:00 sharp. The ship is well preserved and a lot of the history of the trade routes can be seen along the tour. Kids will be quite entertained too with interactive displays at several points.

    It’s a museum for one of the British Royal Ship to experience the legacy of the Royal Navy. It’s maintained so gracefully that it looks very pretty from outside as well as inside of the ship. You can climb up-to almost the top of the ship. Entry fee is around £15-16 per person. In the ground floor it has gift centres as well. If someone is visiting to Greenwich, it’s one of the highly popular places you can visit. Average recommendation to enter but you can take see/ click from outside as well.

  • 2/5 Jon-Cameron Bates (. 4 months ago on Google • 520 reviews
    As beautiful as this ship is on the outside, paying to climb aboard was a waste of money. There's very little to see inside and due to the extremely low ceiling you will find most of the time you are looking at the floor to avoid injuring your head. On the deck there is a bit of a view over the river but again there's little to see (some of it was cordoned off too). You will pay silly money in the cafe outside and we just didn't see anything worth the asking price. The money is predominantly about preserving the ship of course but it still has to be entertaining.

    Don't go waste your time on this one. Rather go visit the maritime museum. It's a tourist trap with nothing remarkable to see. It's an almost 200 year old ship that sailed between GB, China and Australia. And most likely the last surviving one. That's all there to know.

    One of the last remaining Victorian era ships used for the ocean trades. Was handed ownership to many individuals and companies over time, and then bought back to be used as a remind of the tea trade and the height of the British naval power. kid friendly lots of history, and lots to learn. amazing such a ship has been able to be preserved throughout so many years.

    Beautiful. We didn't get inside surely will do next time. But the outside view is spectacular and we can see the whole ship and below through the glass from the outside. If you're looking for a spectacular ship to visit, you can't go wrong with the Cutty Sark. This historic vessel is the last surviving tea clipper, and it's been beautifully restored and displayed.

    I think this cost £8 each. It does not take long. I enjoyed seeing the ship. It is interesting. The bunk spaces were small. It's next to the Maritime Museum, the Queens House, & the Observatory and Planetarium. So you can bang them out in several hours--which I recommend.

    Make sure you WAIT until SUNSET! Cutty Sark is a really good place to chill with friends, get some food and drinks, and enjoy the view. I recommend going here when it's summertime: first, visit Greenwich Park, then come here near sunset and grab a drink! In winter, you can visit Cutty Sark, but it gets a little windy, and of course, it will be a lot colder.

    This is one of my favorite things I visited while in London. This was one of the most interactive and engaging museums and it was so cool to be on this old tea trading ship. I give this a 10/10!! Definitely do the audio guide through the app. It takes a little over an hour but added so much to the experience. I also appreciated that their guide was also in sign language.

    Great ship museum in the city, right next to the Thames and in the heart of Greenwich. Tickets are a bit expensive and you can get discount of 10% if you have membership of English heritage. There are two free museums nearby,so we didn’t visit the inside of the museum. Parking are free at the blackheath common at the weekend.

    Great museum with plenty to see. Being able to walk around gives a really good idea of the scale of the ship which is something you simply cannot get from a book or screen. If you are visiting London it's a must see and located right in the centre if Grenwich with the market and the navel college right next to it.

    Worth your time. Included in London pass. On the way to Greenwich. Tea transportation ship, surprising. Tidy and clean display. Gift shop, wonderful Big Cafe in the underground. London pass is allowed. Need 1 to 3 hours depending upto your taste. Children would love it. There is a monitor when you can navigate the ship from one country to destination, Sort of a game.

  • 3/5 Elizabeth P. 2 months ago on Google • 307 reviews New
    Great looking ship. I was looking forward to seeing it as I hadn't seen it since I was a child in the late 60s or early 70s. Didn't go in because the price was prohibitive for the time we had. Though I'm not sure I would spend so much anyway.

  • 5/5 Tiffany S. 8 months ago on Google • 79 reviews
    A great day out as part of the Royal Museums Greenwich. Can be seen for free on the outside, and reasonably priced to enter. Enjoyable to explore, clearly explained and labelled, lots of stories and history to discover. Cafe inside is calm, spacious and comfortable too.

    It's a very unique experience as you get to walk through the whole ship. The full ticket price is a little high for the size of the exhibit and the amount of time you'll likely spend there. There is a cafe and space to eat underneath the ship which is quite a unique and enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 Jameel S. 3 years ago on Google
    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!

    Would live to come back and really take a good look but with a 2 year old it was short lived What I enjoyed and hope it continues is the one way system this helped keep the chaos at bay We went during the week and before noon so it was quiet and we were able to view everything easily. Staff were lovely

    This really is an awe inspiring visitor attraction. Built in 1869 the Cutty Sark spent 52 years as a working vessel initially transporting tea from India and China then wool and coal from Australia. The Ship has been painstakingly restored. There's an audio guide, interactive video displays and information boards. Suitable for all ages including kids as young as 3. Lift access to all decks for anyone with restricted mobility. There's even a refreshment area in the dry dock beneath the hull. Entry fee for an adult is usually £15 but there was a special deal on which meant we we charged £10.50. Excellent value. Not only is this a wonderful attraction, it stands too as a monument to the courage of those heroes who serve and have served in our merchant navy.

    It was interesting and exciting for me and my children. Not the first time we were in Greenwich, and finally visited Cutty Sark, a beautiful sailboat, beautifully restored, under the sailboat there is a cafe where you can have a snack and breathe) We just went after a walk around Greenwich. Very non-stressful place, children will be interested, a lot of interactivity. We passed with pleasure, the sailboat made round-the-world transitions. Impressive. in a word, we liked everything

  • 5/5 Chiho S. 2 years ago on Google
    You can take the DLR to Cutty Sark directly, but it’s more interesting to take the DLR to Island Gardens and walk through the tunnel. Walk to Island Gardens and you won’t miss the dome that is the entrance to the spiral stairs. The same dome is on the other side. It’s pretty awesome to see the ship in front of you as you come out of the spiral stairs. These stairs are wide and easy to walk. People carry bikes up and down. No cycling in the tunnel, but many people were cycling! We walked around in the navy college. Nice architectures, nice grass to sit on, nice views of Canary Wharf and nice footpath to walk on along the Thames river. There was a nice ice cream stall, but we were particularly interested in “gin and pimms” stall. We regretted that we drove to Island Gardens and parked on the street. (Free Sat and Sun, during the week, Tower Hamlets resident permit) We’ll take the DLR next time. There is a nice Greenwich market and Greenwich park if you have time to explore. If you had enough walk, you can take the DLR from Cutty Sark instead of walking through the tunnel again.

    Great ship. Really enjoyed the performer of the day and the figure heads. Cafe n toilets available. Friendly staff. Doesn't take too long walk round approx 30 -45 minutes at a leisurely pace. Come out of station, turn left and it's there. Little queue and can pay on the door. I pre-paid and didn't have to wait, just scanned in.

    Interesting addition to the sights in the area. The staff is friendly, cafe and toilet facilities are available and the walk arounds the decks will not take you more than 40min. A great way to see the 19th century conditions sailors lived in while in the see for months.

    The Cutty Sark experience is great. What a fantastic ship and the tour and the experience lecture from one of the clippers captains is very good also. The surrounding area, Greenwich is a great experience too, it all goes together to make for a fantastic experience that can last as long as you want it to.

    The ship itself is very interesting and beautiful. There are information videos all around the place that truly tell a lot about the ship's voyages. The place is designed to show how the ship used to function, even with the smallest details such as speakers to show the noise the chickens made. Very recommended for anyone, especially tourists.

    At Greenwich, London. Get there quicker via Thames river boats. It was part of the London Pass as well. Tour of the old steamliner which was the fastest in the world at a point. Tour starts at the lower deck where you see see a short video on its history, the tea and wool trade with some ship and crew objects. You head up to the main deck and walk about. There is a lift to head down to a snack bar and exit. Overall needs about 45mins to an hour.

    Day trip to Greenwich including a visit to the Cutty Sark. Nice way to spend a couple of hours. Lots of useful information available including interactive activities. Well worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Ralf S. 5 months ago on Google • 33 reviews
    It's interesting to walk around the ship, but the depth and quality of the information as well as the presentation could be improved. One gets the impression that everything is aimed more at younger visitors, and in fact school classes are regularly present. Overall, worth seeing if you have a specific interest, especially in combination with the recommended naval museum nearby, but in my opinion not a must when visiting London.

  • 5/5 Raymond T. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    We decided to go into London from Croydon to visit Grenidge,which I think is worth a visit,so while it was quiet when seing the cutty Sark,we took advantage and paid the entrance fee,and buy the way it was well worth it.

  • 3/5 Monika P. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Impressive old ship but not a great value for money. The tickets are very expensive for a family. Not enough content. Not enough interactive stuff. We much preferred a free visit to the Royal Maritime Museum down the road.

    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.

  • 5/5 marian n. 3 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Paula K. 3 years ago on Google
    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!

    Tall Ships We Know. We visited Cutty Sark, the historic tall ship and fastest of its time on a rainy day in Greenwich. We explored all exhibits and we were fascinated by the opportunity to be under the sailing ship. If you like to visit Tall Ships, this is one to have in your list. Visit their website and learn the history about before coming. After this visit we went to Greenwich Prime Meridian and Royal Observatory. Our Global Learning Adventures in London continued under the rain.

    Замисълът при създаването му е “Къти Сарк” да пренася чай от Китай. Затова товароносимостта му е 963 тона, водоизместимостта му е 2100 тона, а платната му са с обща площ 3350 квадратни метра и при подходящ вятър е могъл да поддържа скорост от 17 възела. Някога, тръгвайки за Китай, корабите са се състезавали кой пръв ще се върне и ще реализира чаят на пазара и така през 1872 година клиперът губи надпреварата, по-бързият клипер “Термопили” го изпрева с една седмица, затова след завръщането му, корабът започва да пренася вълна от Австралия, а по време на Първата световна война пренася въглища. И така във времето многкратно се сменя предназначението му. Заради няколкото рекорда, които поставя за бързо плаване, е наречен “магьосницата на океаните”. От 1938 година е учебен кораб, а през 1954 година е пренесен в Гринуич и е превърнат в музей, където може да го разгледате в целия му блясък и оригинална атмосфера, типична за викторианската епоха. Най-престижната регата за големи ветроходни кораби в света е наречена на негово име през 1956 г. Мисля, че е временно затворен за посещения, но има сайт, на който информацията се обновява непрекъснато.

    Loved visiting the Cutty Sark with my family, aged 2.5 to 64!

    After being rescued from the ravages of fire, this remarkable old lady was returned to the UK in all her glory. The millions that it took in performing this miracle were worth every penny, as the Cutty Sark, shows what we as a country were worth during our ship building era. Taking my grandchildren to see this amazing vessel today, and watching their faces as they took in all of the history she shares with us all was great. Thankyou to all of those people who have, and continue to maintain that seafaring magic, as your commitment is invaluable.

    Wonderful visitor attraction. I found it to be very accessible. Only upgrade would be a Changing Places.

    Fantastic to visit and experience the ship as it once was. Its a truly immersive experience and the smell of wood as you walk through is amazing. It has been amazingly preserved and is definitely worth a visit.

    It's a great experience! The visitor is able.to visit all the decks of the ship and have a quick meal at the lowest level, beneath the ship's keel.

    The curry Sark is a great place to visit if your looking to find out about the uk’s and chinas tea trade or just about the world famous boat. It’s not to expensive to enter and once you enter the boat you instantly realise how impressive it is for a boat being built in the 18 hundreds. There’s loads to see around the boat and most of it’s still original despite the fire that happned before. You can go inside most of the cabins and compartments that the crew lived in during their time aboard the boat. If your feeling brave you can even climb the Mast. Overall it’s a very cool tourist attraction and I would recommend visiting it. There’s also a cafe.

    I didn't get to see much of it because we came by close to the closing time. We also didn't get a tour of the ship. I enjoyed my experience but can't say I got the value for my money. I would advice anyone looking to visit to come in earlier to have a proper look around and a value for money.

    Iconic British clipper from 1869, trading tea with many expeditions from London to Shanghai and Woosung, super fast for its date, took part in various competitions. Caught fire in 2007 and also in 2014. It is a nice symbol of Greenwich, with a museum underneath, can be visited inside.

    Arrived by boat to see the ship. Built in Dumbarton, Scotland and the fastest ship ever made at the time of launching. A great experience and important historical treasure. Be sure to check-out the area nearby. Beside the ship is a wonderful market selling fresh foods from a variety of cultures and countries.

    Incredible! I learned more about tea and the tea trade than anything else, but it was an excellent mix of info + interaction that wasn't overwhelming. Good for a 45-minute visit before going on to the maritime museum/observatory.

    Such an interesting trip into the past.... Going to the Cutty Sark was a special moment as my mother was invited to it's opening ceremony more than half a century ago. I had high expectations..... Which were exceeded. The ship remains beautifully restored and cared for, as if it went into dry dock least week. The information and displays are relevant and interesting and the activities available a great addition. I'd recommend anyone visiting - even with teenagers as it's not a long tour and they may just about manage to put down their phones long enough to enjoy it 🤣♥️

    The area around the ship is very nice for walks and relaxing time. It is known that at first the ship was designed to be one of the fastest and to transport tea from China. But there is also an interesting history related to its name that seems to originate from Robert Burn’s poem and a story about a witch chasing a farmer. That very same story in the poem also tells us that witches cannot cross 💦 water so it sounds weird and a bit awkward for a ship to carry that name. Nowadays one can see the ship stuck there and everywhere around fullness of life and people enjoying the nice walking and cycling area. From there one can easily expand the pleasant activity to a walk around the river or through Greenwich park where there is abundance of green space.

    What a wonderful experience. The fastest sailing cargo vessel ever. A tea clipper, picking up cargos of tea from China. Later it was assigned to cargoes of Wool from the antipodes. The tour takes you through the internal decks and the upper deck. It's one, if not the most famous sailing ships ever built. Thoroughly recommended visit. The added bonus is taking in Greenwich with it's maritime museum, other historical buildings, river front and market. Also worth considering is stopping off to visit via the Thames Clipper river taxis.

    Beautiful restoration of the tea clipper and a fascinating history. It's not a long visit but well worth it especially if you combine it with other activities in the Greenwich area. Went by car as public transport from our area is difficult. Used a parking app to book a parking space on a drive in a local residential street. Really easy and a cheaper alternative to paying for 4 people on the train, tube etc.

    Had a great visit, lots of interesting things to see and learn for all ages. Is great for Chinese tourists too. Took about 45-60 minutes to walk through.

    Nice historic ship. Well preserved and restored. You'll learn a lot of history about the tea trade and the shipbuilder process.

    Fabulous museum of an old tea cutter ship, once the fastest ship in the world, back in Victorian times. It's been restored to former glory and very cleverly done. Huge cafe and museum underneath and inside the ship. Great views of London from the top deck. Well worth a visit and very educational.

    Excellent and informative. You enter near the stern and exit from a stair tower on the starboard side. The staff helped me with questions. You can climb one of the masts with a safety belt and an instructor. Cafe underneath the ship under the glass enclosure.

    Built in 1869, the Cutty Sark was the fastest sailing ship of its time and was used in the tea trade. The museum is beautifully done with displays explaining the ship's history and construction from top to bottom. We purchased combination tickets (Cutty Sark and the Prime Meridian) online, but could just as easily have bought them directly at the venue.

    The afternoon tea under the hull of the Cutty Sark was a lovely experience. Although it lacked atmosphere and felt like a school dining area. The museum is interesting and well laid out, with interactive displays.
