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.

I booked this tour for my mum and myself as a treat during a long weekend away in London. We were met by our guide Tristan and our group were taken to get our beautiful bikes for our tour. The tour was fantastic and Tristan was so attentive and charming throughout. The market was a bustle of activity which was great to experience and the gin was fantastic!
