Riverside Cutty Sark 2 Bedroom Retreat

Now a museum, Cutty Sark gives you a glimpse of 19th-century seafaring and some stunning views. It's a beautifully preserved historic clipper ship in Greenwich, London, and was once one of the fastest tea clippers. A must-visit for anyone who loves history.

When you arrive here, the front and rear train doors stay shut because the platform is too short. The escalators are the bigger problem: all four have hardly ever worked at the same time, and as of November 2024, they had all stopped working. It's a deep station, so taking the stairs is quite a climb. There is a lift, but it's small, dirty, and cramped with everyone trying to get in. Lately, people have also been sent round to an alley at the back to use another set of stairs. This is my local station and it just keeps getting worse. If you're visiting Greenwich, I'd suggest staying on to Greenwich station. It's only five minutes' extra walk into town, and worth it. This is one of the worst DLR stations on the network.

Amazing to see the whole tall ship. The restoration is impressive and beautiful.

This is a busy station with lots of people using it all the time. The platforms are short, so the first and last doors on the DLR trains don't open. During my visit, the escalator down to the platforms was being repaired, which meant taking the stairs or lift. That was annoying.
