    Madame Tussauds London

    Madame Tussauds in London is not only one of city’s most-visited attractions, but the most-famous wax museum in the world.

    The iconic brand name ‘Madame Tussauds’ is known across the globe for its lifelike replicas of our favourite celebrities. The history of Madame Tussauds spans back more than 200 years and starts with Marie Grosholtz who was born in France in 1761 and later married François Tussaud. After the French revolution, Marie inherited a wax exhibition which she brought to the British Isles and proudly displayed at the Baker Street Bazaar. However, London’s iconic wax museum was actually founded by her Grandsons in 1884 in London’s Marylebone neighbourhood where it remains to this day.

    TICKETS OFFICIAL WEBSITE

    Following the success of the London wax museum, other Madame Tussauds waxworks have popped up in major cities worldwide including: Berlin, New York, Las Vegas and Tokyo.

    What to see in Madame Tussauds in London

    Every year Madame Tussauds unveils the newest figures to be added to its collection. Sing alongside Ed Sheeran, strike a pose with Usain Bolt, rub shoulders with Prince Harry and Megan or get a selfie with the Queen of England herself!

    Madame Tussauds is also home to some fantastic exhibitions like the popular Star Wars experience, as well as various temporary exhibitions which are usually related to significant events of that year, for example the Olympics or a blockbuster movie release.

    Buying tickets for Madame Tussauds in London

    We recommend buying tickets online in advance as it’s cheaper than buying them at the ticket office on the day.

    When buying Madame Tussauds London tickets online, you’ll sometimes need to select a time slot for your visit (but you get about 15 minutes either side of this to enter). The quietest times are usually first thing in the morning  – although in peak times there can also be a queue first thing – or around 3 pm in the afternoon.

    Give yourselves around 2 hours for your visit but the time it takes you to see everything really depends on how many celebrities you stop to have your photo with 😉

    Prices

    The ticket prices for Madame Tussauds in London including access to the Star Wars experience are:

    • Adults:  £32.00
    • Children (3 – 15 years): £27.00
    • Children under 3 go free
