World's only surviving Tea Clipper, a splendidly nautical experience!

One of the finest survivors from the age of sail, featuring Britain's largest collection of merchant figureheads; Cutty Sark's decks offer spectacular views of the Thames and Docklands.

Cutty Sark is currently undergoing a £25m conservation programme which will transform it into a splendid 21st century venue. It will, quite literally, raise the standard of historic ship presentation.

This 19th century vessel will be lifted and suspended three metres above her current position, allowing visitors to walk, dine or dance under her and, for the first time, be able to properly appreciate her beautiful shape – the very reason why she has been famous since the 1870s.

A sophisticated glass apron meeting the ship at the waterline, will give year round protection to visitors in the dry berth and to the lower hull itself. Lifts in the dry berth and in the ship itself will allow everyone on board and onto each deck. An interpretation scheme (including extensive lighting) will be installed to give a more atmospheric, more dramatic sense of the life and times of the ship.

Cutty Sark is not currently available for private hire as the conservation project to save Cutty Sark is ongoing.

The ship is expected to reopen for events in 2010.
