Arguably the most striking example is the Cutty Sark, located a stone’s throw from the development and the world’s last surviving tea clipper, which now stands majestically in dry dock by the river. Originally built in Scotland (its name comes from a Robbie Burns poem), the Cutty Sark has been lovingly restored and carefully conserved.
