2 weeks agoPositive experience: quite on weekday Wednesday went with family from Kent drive hour plus worth it parking is 2 hours max next to this for £10 not bad for London prices next to Greenwich museum. If your on Universal credit tickets is £2 each instead of £22 little secret ;) you’re welcome lol Also staff very lovely and polite and welcoming. Peaceful environment London isn’t as bad social media make it seems in reality everyone working together and getting along. Can’t complain. Happy days

2 weeks agoCutty Sark – Greenwich I was initially undecided about visiting, but I’m very glad I did. At £22 per adult, the experience is excellent value for money. The ship’s rich history and its significance during service are presented in an engaging and informative way. While I had previously only heard of the Cutty Sark, seeing it up close was a real highlight of my London trip. The attraction appeals to all ages, with interactive media and open access throughout the ship. After the self-guided tour, there is a café and gift shop; although I didn’t purchase anything, prices appeared reasonable. As a tourist, I would strongly recommend a visit — it’s well worth the cost and an important way to preserve history.

2 weeks agoI have always wanted to see the Cutty Sark. If you have not you are missing the best and fastest cargo ship of it's time. The restoration has been magnificent. After rising from the lowest hold to the deck, you descend to below the hull. It is impressive above you with it's alloy plated hull, as you sit drinking your coffee. I have not labelled the photos because that's for you to go and learn about. It is warm throughout except on deck which is open. After all you will have more comfort than the crew had on the month long voyages. It is disability friendly with lifts between decks

4 months agoWhat a beautiful ship and visit! Just seeing it from the outside surfing the glass canopy gave me chills. I'd love to see it in full sail although it's obviously not possible. Despite that just the masts and rigging are impressive enough. I took the day pass (£38 with access for the day to the Cutty Sark and Royal Observatory) but becoming a member may be a good alternative if you intend to view the exhibits (which are then free) at the Maritime museum or plan on doing the rigging climb (50% off). I'd also recommend using the app to get the free audio guided tour which really adds to the experience. I went on a mild weather Sunday in mid-September so it wasn't too busy. Given that the ship is quite narrow with a few exhibits, I suppose it may feel overcrowded at peak time. All is beautifully presented with a lot of interesting information be it about engineering or history. The indoor deck are well lit with nice exhibits and volunteers to answer your questions. The party piece is obviously being able to walk under the hull and admiring it's elegant, sleek and gleaming shape, what an experience ! I didn't get the chance to do the rigging climb this time but hope to do it at some point. Well worth a visit.

3 months agoReally interesting historic boat that isn't about the military. The exhibit is in very good condition and eerily held up from the floor (for good reason as they explain) allowing you to walk under it which just feels weird?! Views are good from the top deck and some very informative videos and side panels throughout. Various ad hoc performances and offerings provided throughout the day (we did some rope making which the kids enjoyed), toilets are in good order, cafe available at the end and about a dozen lockers available for bags (need a £1 coin but you get it back). Really solid visit, would recommend but you will get it done in a couple of hours.
