Beautifully presented boat. We didn’t go on it. The surrounding area was expansive. A great stroll and bowl grounds to get food, sit in the park and have a beer, wine of coffee. Lovely streets with beautiful buildings. It has an old world charm. Very worth the visit

Finally went in.. Had a concession ticket. Bought a bag in gift shop £15..pricey but saved on ticket which was £3.lived the top deck and the captains and officers quarters.. It's a massive ship.. Loved the underneath where cafe was and the bit with the boat figureheads. Despite the rain was a good trip

What a brilliant place to visit. So interactive for kids (and boyfriends! Haha!), lots of history (I learnt so much about tea!), and an immense and beautiful structure. Highly recommend if you're in the Greenwich area and interested in maritime history or tea. You can pre-book tickets online or pay on the door.

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 by too.

Cutty Sark in Greenwich was such a cute and lovely place to visit. The name itself sounds charming, and the whole area has a very cute, relaxed feel. Around Cutty Sark, there are many small shops, a lovely market, little restaurants, and nice places to walk around. The entire area felt very pleasant and full of character. We really enjoyed the atmosphere — it was not too overwhelming, just a beautiful and easy place to explore. Getting from Cutty Sark to Greenwich was also very easy, which made the visit even smoother. Overall, a very cute and charming part of London. Definitely worth visiting if you are around Greenwich.
