Cutty Sark – the world’s sole-surviving tea clipper – was built in 1869 to bring the finest and freshest teas back to London.
Now you too can savour Cutty Sark's rich history while enjoying a truly unique London afternoon tea experience.
Leave behind the traditional hotels and bus tours: at Cutty Sark, you can dine beneath the ship itself!
Indulge in a special afternoon tea sitting directly beneath Cutty Sark's iconic copper-clad hull. Choose between a standard or vegan menu and enjoy a selection of teas, sandwiches and sweet treats as you marvel at the historic engineering of the fastest ship of its day.
All table bookings include entry to the ship, so you can explore Cutty Sark at your leisure before or after your meal.
Please note that afternoon teas must be booked at least 72 hours before the start of the session.

I have a specific food allergen/intolerance, how do I let you know?
Please notify us of any allergens/intolerances at the time of booking, by email bookings@rmg.co.uk.
We require at least 72 hours’ notice prior to your visit and we will provide advice on the ingredients and allergens.
Afternoon teas are prepared in a centralised kitchen, allergen-based meals are prepared in the same area as ‘allergen free meals’, we cannot therefore guarantee absolute separation and cannot take responsibility for any adverse reaction that may occur.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide refunds once bookings have been made. Menus are subject to change depending on seasonality and availability.
Can children come to the afternoon tea?
Afternoon tea is available for both adults and children, although please be aware that there is no separate child's menu.
Food and drinks for children can also be bought from the café on the day. If you would like to arrange for additional seats at your table or hire a highchair, please email bookings@rmg.co.uk.
Can I book afternoon tea for a group?
We offer a discount to groups of 15 persons or more. To make an enquiry, please complete our group booking form.
