Welcome to the Royal Deck Tea Room

The history of the Royal DeckWhen Britannia was in service, the Royal Deck was used by the Royal Family for games and entertaining. The historic appearance of the Royal Deck has been re-created with an awning-style roof and original teak deck. The awning was formerly used to protect the Royal Family and their guests from the sun; today our awning and glass walls are to protect you in all seasons.

The interior reflects the décor of the State Apartments which you will see on your tour, with certain distinctive features recreated from these rooms. With the additional bonus of breathtaking views over the Firth of Forth, with ‘The Bridges’ in the distance, we hope you enjoy this welcome addition to the Britannia experience.

Spend a little, help a lot…Britannia is a charity and all proceeds go towards preserving and maintaining this historic ship. Thank you for your support.

Antony Gormley sculpture

The sculpture of a man that is situated at the end of the old pier is by British artist, Sir Antony Gormley, OBE. You can see the sculpture from the entrance to the Tea Room. The work is part of a project by Gormley and the National Galleries of Scotland whose enigmatic work draws attention to the significant natural environment of the Water of Leith. There are six sculptures situated along the river, with the final figure at the Gallery of Modern Art. Sir Antony Gormley won the Turner Prize in 1994 and, in 1997, created the Angel of the North.
