Plan your visit

Once you have decided what you want to do, look at our useful tool below to see how long we recommend you spend doing each activity, how many people each activity can accommodate at once, and how long it takes to walk between sites. This will help you understand what is possible for your group.

Our Travel Trade and groups team is on hand to help you plan the best visit possible, so whether you would like recommendations for what to do, help with planning your itinerary, or anything else, please get in touch with us at traveltrade@rmg.co.uk.

Activity Details

Please see below information about the length of each activity and the capacity per session. Due to the nature of our sites, we limit the capacity of our tours for the comfort and enjoyment of our groups and other visitors. However, we can run multiple tours at once, or back to back, for larger groups, so no one misses out.

Distance between sites

All of our sites are within easy walking distance of each other in Maritime Greenwich. Please see our table below for estimated walking times between each site. These are only estimated so walking times may vary depending on the fitness of your group.

The Royal Observatory and Peter Harrison Planetarium are at the top of a steep hill in Greenwich Park, so please bear this in mind when planning your visit.

Catering

Catering facilities are available at the National Maritime Museum and Cutty Sark for groups.

The Cutty Sark cafe is located under the hull of the ship, and makes a delightful location for groups to enjoy Afternoon Tea, underneath the world's sole surviving tea clipper. The Cutty Sark Café can accommodate up to 48 people at once for Afternoon tea.

Alternatively, the Parkside Terrace at the National Maritime Museum offers set meals and cream teas for groups, overlooking the beautiful grounds of Greenwich Royal Park. The Parkside Terrace can accommodate groups of up to 40 people at once.
