'Cutty Sark' Entrance Ticket

What a great way to spend an hour. We got a real sense of what life would have been like as a crew member in the 19tj century. Big shout out to the guide on the ship who spent 15 mins answering our questions and giving us loads of fascinating information. His name was Graeme Tripp I believe and he was an excellent ambassador for The Cutty Sark

The ship has been beautifully restored. Signage and short films take you through the exhibits. This is a good venue if you have mobility challenges as there are elevators to all floors. Remember that your entrance fees help support the maintenance of this amazing piece of history. Don't miss this museum if you're in the Greenwich area.

Don’t forget to use the discount code if you travelled on the train. That makes it good value. Otherwise, not the best museum, the best view was the dry dock showing the hull of the boat.

Loved it. My son is currently obsessed with ships and he had the best time. Shout out to Cleveland and his rope knot tutorial. He was so approachable and patient with my son. Thank you.

We took a group of Scouts and Explorer Scouts to the Cutty Sark Museum. We enjoyed the interactive displays and information and especially the knowledgeable guides who demonstrated and then got the young people involved in knot tying. Overall a great way to spend a couple of hours

Great experience Great fun for everyone children and adults. Great views lots of information done in an easy format

A repeat visit after about 50 years. A much enhanced visit and well worthwhile. I was particularly impressed with the person at the desk who, without any nonsense, recognised my Son’s disability lanyard and made the payment adjustment without drawing attention to him personally. Clearly she and the disability awareness training received has been excellent. Thank you

Very enjoyable experience great customer service given by Eduaduo and Sophie when purchasing tickets from the desk they were outstanding 👏

Maritime history doesn’t particularly appeal to us but we spent about an hour and a half here. The displays are well set out and informative. The ship itself is beautiful.

Do not waste your money on this! I cannot believe how overpriced it was for the little there was to see. Kids were bored out of their minds after 10 minutes. We traveled 90 minutes to see a few minor exhibits. This should absolutely be a free exhibit for the community, as it's definitely not worth charging for.

Enjoyable hour or so, got there first thing and bought a ticket at the entrance, incredible history and great location.

Visiting the Cutty Sark was fun. There is so much history behind this tea ship and the staff had worked hard to preserve this ship and ensure that visitors get a realistic picture of life on this ship and her journeys.

I dropped in here for a look round on my way after seeing family. The ship was very well preserved and curated, and the exhibits were very informative. I would definitely return and would recommend this to others.

Excellent tour with a great guide called Chris. He was very informative and made the tour really interesting

Very interesting and well presented. Staff were super helpful getting our tickets sorted with the rail offer. We really enjoyed our visit and especially grateful to James who helped us ‘learn the ropes’.

Have been wanting to visit the Cutty Sark for a very long time having passed it on the river boats over the years. Finally had time on a weekend break between christmas and NY. What a brilliant experience. As a wheelchair user who rarely leaves the house because of all the obsticles/restrictions I face, this visit made me so happy. Theres a lift inside so all 3 levels of the ship can be accessed. The ship is beautifully kept, full of information and hands on activities for younger visitors too. I loved the full out display drawers to show what the sailors ate. The captains cabins cant be reached by visitors on wheels due to the ladders but can be seen on a video screen. I think the only change that could be made would be there are ridges preventing wheels from entering the middle cabins. Not sure if they need to stay there but i would have loved to have seen inside if that could have been made flat.

We visited today and were really impressed. The welcome at the front desk was warm and friendly. All the way round the Cutty Sark, you could get involved in interactive exhibits and the information was shared in a way that kept you interested. All the staff around the ship were helpful and knowledgable too! We loved it and we can see why it would appeal to children with all of the additional activities to engage them. Well worth a visit!

The historic Cutty Sark, a British clipper ship built in 1869, was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest. This magnificent ship was restored and is an excellent museum devoted to early shipping. The exhibits are well done and friendly staff, many of whom are involved in ongoing maintance, are available to answer questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this vessel.

This was our family's second time at Cutty Sark and we learned even more history this time around. We also got to see how the ropes are made and the kids got to make some for themselves as souvenirs! As always - a wonderful family learning experience. We will definitely be back.

It was very slippery my husband fell in the stairs inside the boat They should put anti slip mat So they need to upgrade the interior

The clipper is really well restored and presented propped up on struts above a glass structure resembling the open sea. Well worth it if you buy the joint ticket with the Royal Observatory

Lots to see onboard, all presented in a modern and clear way for visitors. Enjoyed trying to ‘virtual’ sail the ship in the prevailing winds. Right next to Greenwich Town with loads of shops and cafes. Also adjacent to Greenwich Market..worth a visit too.

Well worth the price of admission for this famous old clipper ship, restored to excellent condition.

This is comfortably the best attraction at Greenwich and if you only have time for one, make it this one. The ship is beautifully preserved and presented and fascinating to learn so much about. The audio guide is a must have and is excellent both in pitch and duration. The ability to walk under the ship sets this apart from any other dry dock ship museums.

All the pictures make it sound super cool, but unfortunately its a boring attraction unless you are a small child. Waste of time and money. The shop also has nothing good.

Did the Navigation Workshop with John, Luci and Emerson. Absolutely brilliant. Was researching and asked them questions for two hours! They couldn’t have been nicer or more well-informed. I basically got expert advice for the price of entry - all at the Captains table. Also got to ring the ship’s bell!

I came to the Cutty Sark on a school trip in the 1970s, which I found quite boring. What a difference a few decades and a fire have made. What an amazing vessel and exhibition, we used the audio tour on a QR, which was excellent, giving interesting snippets as you walk from deck to deck. The presentation and displays were brilliant and interesting for all age groups, from pensioners to toddlers. I was amazed how much of the vessel was available to see. I really was impressed and loved walking around seeing everything. This is a real treasure in Greenwich. Well done to all the staff & trutees for an amazing experience.

Cutty Sark is an amazing place to visit, it’s kept on a great condition and the displays take you back on time. We got a guided tour with Poppy and she explained everything really nicely, she was open to questions and gave us info we would not get on our own. It did worth it.

Really enjoyed my tour of the Cutty Sark. Staff friendly and really knowledgeable. The interactive information is really interesting.

I didnt now what to expect and we we were really really impressed how the history was presented and how well the vessel has been looked after. Love the cafe location underneath the hull Its five starts from us

The entrance ticket lasts all day so you can take your time, pop out for lunch and go back in again. Ideal if on & off rain. Did not find QR code until 45mins in. Provides audio commentary. Ask where it is then once loaded up you can start Tour. Cost= Donations only.

No in the drop down but we had a presentation on rope making by Poppy which was excellent - our grandaughters really enjoyed making their own length of rope. We also sat through the presentation by the Cook about life on the Cutty Sark. It to was brilliant. We really enjoyed our visit and it was worth every penny of the entrance fee.

We travelled down to the Cutty Sark on the River boat which was great. The way the Cutty Sark has been preserved is amazing. Fantastic to go inside and look around, very imformative and enjoyable.

Excellent time at cutty sark, and did the tour hosted by young lady called Merle, who had all the facts and figures at her fingertips, very informative

For me, the main significance of this ship lies in the fact that it was a famous tea clipper in the 19th century, transporting tea between China and the UK. Thanks to ships like this, we can enjoy good tea today. The ship is now docked in Greenwich, and when I stayed nearby in June, I walked there from the Isle of Dogs via the foot tunnel, and as soon as I came out of the tunnel, I saw it—absolutely magnificent. This was probably the first time I had seen a ship of this kind, and it was truly awe-inspiring. After buying a ticket, I went inside to explore and learned a bit about maritime history. There’s also a café attached, where I enjoyed a cream tea and some pastries—they tasted great. Of course, I couldn’t leave without buying some souvenirs from the gift shop. Aside from the Royal Observatory, this is definitely the most captivating attraction in Greenwich. Highly recommended!

The clipper ship Cutty Sark is definitely one of the best sites to visit in Greenwich. Built in the 1860s, it was one of the last tea clippers to be constructed and it functioned as such only a few years until it began to be used to transport wool for Australia. Continuing improvements in steamboat technology meant that it could no longer compete with steam ships, so at the end of the 19th century, it was sold and subsequently used as a cargo ship for around 20 years. In the early 1920s, it was bought by a retired captain and returned to Britain as a training ship and eventually it was put on public display in the 1950s. One of the most exciting things you can do on the Cutty Sark is to join one of the free tours. We were lucky enough to join a tour by a teamster who told us about his experience of working on the docks in the late 1800s and thus brought the ship and the period back to life. You can also take the helm, marvel at the underside of the ship, explore the cargo hold, visit the cabins, and even enjoy an afternoon tea under the hull. There's also a free to download audio guide, which gives you a lot more info about the history of the ship and the experiences of the crew. All in all, Cutty Sark is an exciting attraction that is not to be missed. You can easily combine a visit to this ship with a trip to the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum, the Painted Hall or one of the other great sites in the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage site. If you're planning on visiting more than one attraction though, it's probably a good idea to consider getting a Royal Museums Greenwich Day Pass as that could save you a few pounds. It's also worth noting that a single adult ticket for the Cutty Sark costs £22, so if you're short of money, you could alternatively visit some of the free attractions nearby such as Greenwich Park, the Maritime Museum or the Queen's House.

We took my grandson who is seven and very keen on boats so he loved it. We explored the ship and looked at all the rigging but the think he liked most was the rope making demonstration. It was very quiet so he had the undivided attention of Ilinca, who allowed him to make two pieces - the second for his young sister. Good cafe as well!

Pretty underwhelming and disappointing experience. There is very little to see in the ship itself, and frankly the story of this merchant vessel is not that interesting either.

Took the guided tour at the Cutty Sark. Fantastic decision. Our guide, Cleveland was exceptional, funny, and engaging.

I visited the Cutty Sark with my friend Riris from Indonesia and had a fab insightful discussion with Chris Gould from the Royal Museums Greenwich about the origin of the British Shipping Forecasts and history of Robert Fitzroy..highly recommended! ☺️

I first visited the Cutty Sark when I was knee high to a grasshopper (albeit a large grasshopper!) so it brought back so many memories. Obviously there was an awful fire a few years ago, but you would not know when you hope on board. There is a nice little cafe under the ship, with a fantastic display of figureheads as well. At one time the fastest tea clipper in the world, this is most definitely somewhere you should visit. I would suggest arriving on the river which is the easiest, and the most scenic way to do it!

Brilliant, really interesting. But I was particularly impressed with wheelchair access. Considering it was an old boat on 4 floors there was a lift to all sections, staff were brilliant. It was such an inclusive experience which I appreciated enormously… well done Cutty Sark.

I visited the Cutty Sark with my 14-year-old son on our way from the Observatory and the Prime Meridian and we were unexpectedly impressed. It became a highlight of our day. The exhibit blends digital displays, replicas, and original artifacts to tell the story of the tea trade with China and, later, the wool trade with Australia—all without feeling overwhelming. It also gives a great sense of maritime navigation and sailors’ lives at sea, briefly touching on the Opium Wars and global trade shifts. We spent about two hours fully engaged. Informative, immersive, and well-paced—a great experience.

We enjoyed the rope making that was done there. It was a special experience for our kids. I was told that they offer different workshops, and they all sounded intersting. The ship was really impressive and really interactive compared to the HMS Victory. Really nice with kids.

We visited the Observatory, Naval College and Cutty Sark on our day in Greenwich. Only Cutty Sark was worthwhile. Others you should avoid, although view across London from outside the Observatory is great. I am not really into ships but this was a very interesting attraction. Well laid out, lots of information, felt you really understood the ship and how it functioned.

I really enjoyed my visit today, as I've lived in London for years, but never visited before. One of the staff members recommend the guided tour, and I'm so glad he did. It was fantastic. Poppy was our guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in just about the right level of detail. Using the headphones was great, as I sometimes struggle to hear what tour guides are saying. The tour lasted an hour and at only £5 is incredibly good value.

Incredible journey through time! It’s fun to explore this famous ship. Your ticket allows you access to all parts of the ship and dry dock where you can see a beautiful collection of ship figure heads. The exhibits are really informative and costume characters can help answer your questions. We spent 90 minutes there which is average I think.

It was a unique experience, and we were able to explore many new things on the ship. Will likely return, however the self guided audio tour is through smartify which would not download properly on my phone. In any case, two exceptional activities were the ropemaking with Jamie and Luci(sp?) where we made our own souvenir and learned that the rope on the ship comes from Chatham, which is near where we live. The second was watching the rig climbers going up the masts, I could never imagine doing it myself and especially not on the regular, though I may try it myself some day.

Really enjoyed my visit. Made extra special by adding on the one hour tour of the site with James the guide. James was friendly, very knowledgeable and on the one occasion I asked a question he wasn’t completely sure of the answer he made a note to look it up to benefit future tourists. Very professional. The whole site and experience is really fantastic Thank you all Greg
