Explore the historic Cutty Sark, then savor ship-inspired afternoon tea beneath its gleaming copper hull in London.

About this tour

Step aboard the Cutty Sark for a taste of Victorian seafaring life, then settle in for afternoon tea beneath the ship’s gleaming copper hull. This 3-hour London Afternoon Tea and Cutty Sark Visit pairs a historic ship with teas inspired by the cargo she once carried to Britain.

Explore the world’s sole-surviving tea clipper, built in 1869 for the China tea trade. See the original structure and admire the design that helped make her the fastest ship of her time. As you wander aboard, discover how the crew lived, ate, and slept during long voyages. Look up at the sweeping hull from beneath the ship, then head to the upper deck for views across the River Thames and London skyline.

Your tea is served at the time you book: 12 pm, 1:30 pm, or 3 pm. You can visit the ship before or after tea, though it closes at 5 pm; allow at least 60 minutes to explore, especially before a 3 pm serving. Make time for this distinctive London Afternoon Tea and Cutty Sark Visit, where maritime history and a classic tea ritual meet.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.10 from 30 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.8.
