WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

The fastest ship of its day. This British Clipper is only one of three left intact. She has been damaged by fire twice in recent years, but this boat is a survivor. It is now a working museum. Talk to the shipkeepers who maintain the decks, check out the rigging—you can even take the helm as you immerse yourself in the life of the ship. It actually sits in a dry dock, so you can even inspect the hull as the ship hovers above you.

Built in 1869, this is a tea clipper. The Victorians loved their tea. It was a fashionable drink, and huge quantities were consumed. Sadly, the Cutty Sark only made eight voyages to China, due to the opening of the Suez Canal. The ship was unable to take advantage of the new shortcut due to wind conditions, but made up for the loss of the tea trade by pivoting into wool from Australia, needless to say, delivered in record time.

TELL ME MORE

But this boat was built as a tea clipper, and it's tea you will be enjoying in The Cutty Sark Cafe, located on the lower ground deck of the ship, underneath the copper-clad hull. Expect some rather good tea—English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Peppermint, Chamomile and Oriental Sencha—even the home scones come with a slight infusion of Earl Grey. Tea that a crew member back in 1869 could only dream of.

Included in this experience is a 24-hour hop-on, hop-off river pass, so you can arrive and leave by boat. There are piers up and down the river, from Westminster to Greenwich. It's the perfect way to see London. A watery adventure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Windsor Castle. It was a warm day and the Sun bounced off the stone walls of the Castle. We started with a guided tour of the gardens and outside spaces within the walls. Very well kept and staff were very helpful and professional. Then we proceeded into the Castle with its many splendid rooms. There’s such a lot of history to take in but the free audio tour was very informative. The sparking Afternoon Tea at the Clarence Brasserie was very nice and situated ve...

I got this as a gift for my mum and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. Brilliant service, attentive staff. The tea was delightful and the sandwiches, scones and pastries were delicious. We even had refills offered several times, making the price absolutely worth it. The space was gorgeous as was the Christmas atmosphere. Would consider making it an annual treat.
