Enjoy a special afternoon tea at the Cutty Sark, sitting directly beneath the iconic copper-clad hull, soaking up over 150 years of rich history into the world’s sole-surviving tea clipper. Marvel at the engineering of what was one of the fastest ships back in the days of its glory.

The Cutty Sark afternoon tea includes a selection of homemade finger sandwiches, fresh scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam and indulgent sweet treats. Enjoy a selection of teas, including English Breakfast, Earl Grey and Oriental Sencha.
