Loved how seamless the experience with buying a ticket with headout was. The royal observatory was a once in a lifetime experience with learning so many different things about our astronomical history that I had no idea about. Very fascinating!

We were able to escape the crowds in London and enjoy a side of the city which we have never visited in all the years of coming here. Clean, Organized and well worth the views.

The history of it all. It was amazing how much dedication by the astronomers there was. We have stood on the points of time change both in Iceland and England.

Our visit to the Greenwich Observatory was really enjoyable. The only thing I would have preferred is if they sold one pair of solar eclipse glasses per person rather than one per family. ☺️ I definitely recommend the visit!

The Greenwich Observatory is a must-see that you can't find anywhere else in the world! 4 out of 5 stars—only because the section dedicated to astronomy is unfortunately closed until 2027.

When we went to the main telescope, there was a large group. And we could not enjoy the experience as we wanted. This group was panderred to at every part of the experience. Making us feel very hurried and not able to take in the incredible exhibits. There guid was extremely loud and this also took away from our experience. We left underwhelmed. Such a shame, because my wife and I were very excited to tick off a bucket list experience

Explore Greenwich in one flexible combo, with entry to Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory, the Prime Meridian, and multilingual audio tours.

Getting started

Scan your mobile tickets at the entrances to Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory Greenwich on the day of your visit. You can comfortably see both attractions on the same day, in any order, during their opening hours.

What to expect

Cutty Sark

Step aboard Cutty Sark, the world’s last surviving tea clipper and a 963-ton Victorian sailing ship that once raced tea from China to London.

Features:

Walk the main deck and rigging to see the towering masts and teak decks that helped make Cutty Sark one of the fastest ships of the 1800s.

Step into the captain’s quarters and other living spaces to glimpse how officers and sailors lived during long ocean voyages.

Stand beneath the ship’s sleek copper hull, an engineering design created for speed and now suspended so you can admire its lines up close.

Explore interactive exhibits that trace Cutty Sark’s global trading routes, cargo, and the stories of the crews who sailed her.

Use your multilingual downloadable audio tour, including British Sign Language, to follow curated stories and commentary as you move through different parts of the ship.

Royal Observatory Greenwich

Visit the Royal Observatory Greenwich, a historic center of astronomy and navigation, and the birthplace of Greenwich Mean Time.

Features:

Stand on the famous Prime Meridian Line with one foot in each hemisphere at the point that sets the standard for global time.

Watch the historic time ball on the observatory roof drop at 1pm, echoing the daily signal once used by ships on the River Thames to set their chronometers.

Explore the Octagon Room, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, where early astronomers observed the skies using precision instruments.

See the Great Equatorial Telescope, one of the largest telescopes in the UK, and learn how it contributed to the study of the night sky.
