We are pleased to invite our buyer members on a fam trip to the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory of Greenwich, part of the Royal Museums Greenwich .
This fam trip will take place before the Autumn General Meeting at the Maritime Museum
Royal Museums Greenwich is home of the Royal Observatory and the Peter Harrison Planetarium, Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum and the Queen’s House. The four landmark attractions are located within easy walking distance of each other in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of historic Royal Greenwich.
Cutty Sark is the world’s sole-surviving tea clipper, celebrated for its record-breaking passages around the globe. Come aboard and experience what it was like to sail on board this much-loved national icon.
Now you too can savour Cutty Sark’s rich history while enjoying a truly unique London afternoon tea experience. Indulge in a quintessentially British special afternoon tea sitting directly beneath Cutty Sark’s iconic copper-clad hull.
The Royal Observatory is home to the world-famous Meridian Line and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Established in the 17th century by Charles II, it is today a unique visitor attraction and a must-see for any visit to London. Stand aside the Meridian Line with one foot in the eastern hemisphere and one in the west. The Greenwich Meridian was chosen to be the Prime Meridian of the World back in 1884 and is world famous ever since.
