Originally the Union Tavern, this pub was renamed when the world famous tea-clipper was moved to Greenwich in 1954.
A Grade II listed building, it dates back to at least the early nineteenth century, but may be much older.
Its interior is a mix of low beams, creaking floorboards and dark panelling, bound together with a nautical theme.
In the upstairs bar, the large bow window gives views across the Thames.
It's a popular pub with diners as well as drinkers and has an extensive menu.

The Cutty Sark is not near its namesake, but on the quayside further downriver.
From the town it can be reached by a pleasant riverside walk which passes many interesting buildings including the Royal Naval College, the Trafalgar Tavern, the 17th century Trinity Hospital and its stark neighbour, Greenwich Power Station.
Greenwich is of course a popular destination for tourists and can get extremely busy. The Cutty Sark Tavern will, we hope, be a sanctuary.
