It is a 19th century's sail ship. The last of its kind initially built to bring tea from China quickly. Used to sail the seas untill the 50s of the last century. Very well preserved! Worth visiting.

If you are having a sunny day in Londo you should definitely go to Greenwich to see the 0' meridian. Greenwich is always green and there is a lot of things to do!

The most impressive ship that you will see. Great idea being able to go inside and wander across the whole structure.The exhibition isn't something special/expensive tickets.

Really well done, interesting and great for kids or adults. Being able to go under the boat was a particularly spectacular and unexpected experience.

Get here with the thames clippers. I also recommend combining this trip with a trip to the maritime museum and the royal observatory Greenwich

Impressive old tea trading boat. I didn't spend any time in the museum, but you can see it from outside.

The most impressive ship that you will see all over London.The exhibition isn't something special (you need less than half an hour to see it all) and the ticket is too expensive just to enter.

A must see when you're in London. And when you are already there, take a walk through the tunnel under the Thames...

While visiting the ship museum, you can interactively play the journey of transporting wool from Australia to the UK in 70 days. Read more

Interesting stuff and pretty cool to walk around inside. Plus the "crew" member in the gift shop is smoking hot :)

DONT attempt this by car ... unless you have a lot of patience and a lot of spare time on your hands. DLR - Overground or Thames Clippers are the best ways to get here - posted by a local 4 tourists

Learned a lot about 19th century clippers and the tea trade. Being able to walk the ship is very neat.

Take the Thames clipper boats to get a view of the ship from the water.

Very tasteful restoration - telling the story of Cutty Sark in an involving, respectful and contemporary way. Recommended.

Yes it's a ship! Awe in amazement.... and take a couple of selfies with it in the background too.

Loved the presentation of the exhibits, and the ability to drink tea while looking up at the hull of the ship.

Get a discount on the expensive entrance fee with a National Trust membership.

Standing on the top deck and looking out at the river is one of the great London experiences.

Make sure you see the four candles and fork handles!

The best is the view from below. The rest is good for kids.

There’s a buggy park downstairs but as there are lifts at each level you don’t have to park it if you don’t want to!

Very beautiful but a Ship of Theseus nonetheless. This may or may not bother you.

Prepaid ticketholders > walkups. If you're the latter, be prepared to wait an indefinite amount of time.
