Yet it was nearly left unfinished. Ship-owner John Willis was keen to crack the tea trade. Rather than turn to an established firm, he commissioned newcomers, Scott & Linton, to build his ship. They were ambitious and creative but inexperienced. Named after the famous landmark and located a short distance from it, The Cutty Sark is a pub in Greenwich perched next to the river. There are indoor and outdoor tables so you can enjoy scenic views alongside food or drinks. The Cutty Sark is located at 4-6 Ballast Quay, SE10 9PD, Greenwich. Nearest Underground station is ISLAND GARDENS Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship.
