Madame Tussauds London
About Madame Tussauds London
Madame Tussauds London is the world's most famous wax attraction and has been a must-visit destination since 1835. Get up close and personal with incredibly lifelike figures of the world's biggest stars — from the Royal Family and world leaders to Hollywood A-listers, music legends, sports heroes and cultural icons. Every figure is a masterpiece of sculpting, each taking a team of artists up to six months to create.
Beyond the wax figures, the experience includes immersive themed zones: the Marvel Super Heroes 4D experience puts you in the middle of the action, the Star Wars experience features authentic sets and costumes, and the Spirit of London ride takes you through 400 years of the capital's history in a moving taxi cab. The attraction constantly adds new figures to keep things fresh and relevant.

“The figures are scarily realistic — I genuinely did a double-take at several. The Marvel 4D experience was brilliant and the Star Wars section is fantastic for fans.”
