El veredicto

Ganador: Cutty Sark

Si solo tienes tiempo para una, elige Cutty Sark. Worth it as the anchor of a Greenwich day: walking beneath the hull of the world's last tea clipper is genuinely unique, and kids love the decks. Combine it with the Royal Observatory and arrive by riverboat to do Greenwich properly. Royal Observatory Greenwich sigue siendo worth it, solo que en segundo lugar.

Royal Observatory Greenwich

From £24 · 1.5–2 hours

Worth it if the history of time and navigation appeals: Flamsteed House, Harrison's sea clocks and the Great Equatorial Telescope earn the ticket. If all you want is the meridian photo and the view, know that the hilltop panorama is free and the queue for the line peaks at midday.
