Cutty Sark

The Cutty Sark, the last surviving tea clipper in the world, is a permanent display at King William Walk in Greenwich, where visitors can explore the historic ship.

The Cutty Sark is a permanent display in Greenwich, housed in the historic vessel itself. Visitors can see what daily life was like on board a tea clipper, the fast sailing ships that once carried tea from China to Britain. The visit includes time on the deck, where the views across the Thames are a highlight, and a look at the hull from underneath.

The ship is now a visitor attraction and has received awards, though the visit is not an exhibition of artworks but a walk through a preserved vessel and its history. It suits those interested in maritime history, engineering and nineteenth-century trade, and families looking for a hands-on introduction to life at sea.

The display is laid out as a self-guided visit across the ship's decks and below the hull, allowing visitors to move at their own pace through the rooms and the displays on board.
