I don't know about London-area, but the Endeavour replica was here in
Vancouver this spring and next stop was Australia (the ship is Australian).
We went on the tour and she's a really beautiful job - they also take
passengers (for a price). What a trip that would be! Unfortunately they
wouldn't let me climb up to the tops :-(.

I didn't know the _Endeavour_ replica was Australian, but I
do remember it being in England for a while--probably, like
the _Half Moon_ and _Mayflower_, just visiting. (The neo-_Half
Moon_ was built by the Dutch, and I'm pretty sure the
new _Mayflower_ was built in the US.) But I did hear that
the _Endeavour_ was put into OpSail 2000.
BTW, I was really intrigued by those sites whose URLs Richard
posted--the first one I clicked on was the Warrior restoration
paper, a very nice treat indeed! I treed out from there to see
the _Olympia_ preservation stuff, and some of the issues of
repairing and maintaining all sorts of 19th-C. warships. Neat!
best
