About Cutty Sark
Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich is a DLR station in Zone 2 on the south bank of the Thames, serving the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Maritime Greenwich. The station is steps from the Cutty Sark -the world's last surviving tea clipper ship, now a museum -and within easy walking distance of the Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory and Greenwich Market. The station provides an alternative approach to Greenwich via the DLR rather than the national rail line, and the foot tunnel under the Thames from Island Gardens provides a dramatic pedestrian connection.
