Enjoy at day out in London at The Golden Hinde!
Step aboard a remarkable reconstruction of the famous Elizabethan galleon, The Golden Hinde, and experience the adventure of the first English ship to sail around the world.
“A walk around this old ship is like a walk into the past. Although not much of the original Hinde still remains, the restoration work is fantastically authentic and even more impressive when you find out it was subsequently sailed around the globe. If you like your Naval history, this is a "must do" on your London visit.” (May 2025)
“For any ship enthusiast, this is a MUST SEE! The storied history of this remarkable ship cannot be overstated. To circumnavigate the globe in the path of its predecessor is absolutely fascinating!” (April 2025)
“A lovely little find, myself, husband and two children loved looking around the ship, different levels to explore and something very unique and different to do. Definitely worth the ticket price we all thoroughly enjoyed it!” (April 2025)
