The Cutty Sark: The world's last tea clipper

Cutty Sark is the world's last remaining tea clipper and is a symbol for Greenwich. It was badly damaged by a fire in 2007, although luckily it was undergoing conservation, which meant that many of the materials were saved. Now, the iconic ship is set to re-open in 2012, providing improved access and new exhibition space beneath the ship's hull. Built in 1869, the Cutty Sark was the last tea clipper to be used, sailing from China to London during the famous races to bring back the first tea of the year. Once steam ships took over, the ship has been on display since 1954. Just next door to Cutty Sark is the popular Greenwich Market, while the naval history continues at the National Maritime Museum. Visitors to Greenwich can also explore the area's shops, bars and restaurants and take in the view from Greenwich Park.
