Cutty Sark DLR Station will be closing on 31st May 2025 until Spring 2026 to replace the escalators. During this period Transport for London recommend using Greenwich DLR Station instead. This is a 10 minute walk to both Cutty Sark and the National Maritime Museum. It is a 20-25 minute walk to the Royal Observatory.
We recommend factoring in a little extra time to get to our sites if you are coming by DLR, and checking the walking route in advance. Up to date information about the works can be found here. You can plan your journey with TfL here.
Here’s all you need to know about programmes, resources and opportunities for school groups and teachers at our sites. We offer onsite sessions for schools and have lots of resources to support you in the classroom. Browse our offer for primary, secondary and SEND schools below. You can also sign up to our teacher mailing list for regular updates, offers and opportunities to get involved.
