The detail of these fascinating full size wax figures is amazing to say the least. Both fun and educational, Madame Tussauds world renowned wax museums will take you on a journey back in time and right up to the present as you walk among the life like figures of famous and powerful people, celebrities, athletes, and even fictional characters. New figures are added to the collection on a regular basis.
Madame Tussauds Wax Exhibitions have a long history going back more than 200 years. Back in 1770, a very young Madame Tussaud learnt the skill of creating wax figures from Dr. Philippe Curtius. By the age of 17 she was art tutor to the sister of King Louis XVI in the famous Palace Of Versaille in Paris. Early in the 19th century Madame Tussaud's exhibition travelled around Britain showcasing its unique collection of relics and wax likenesses of renowned public figures both good and bad. This travelling show brought the news of the day to life in a day and age when most news travelled simply by word of mouth.
Madame Tussauds established its first permanent location in London way back in 1835 and moved to its current location on Marylebone Road in 1884. Today they have many locations throughout the world.
A Marvel Super Heroes 4D movie is also part of the Madame Tussauds experience in London as is the chamber of horrors, although you may want to skip that portion if you have children along.

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum London Reviews
Rated out of 5
Madame Tussauds London is definitely an interesting place to visit with some impressive wax figures. Unfortunately, when we went, it was extremely crowded and we had to wait a long time just to get photos. If you’re planning to go, I’d recommend buying tickets as part of a package deal to get better value for money. It’s fun, but the crowds can take away from the experience.

I had a very good experience here (though the place was packed even on a weekend).
A large and good amount of beautiful wax status of famous celebrities and historic figures, it was definitely an experience. Had fun taking pics with them.
Also loved the spirit of London ride and the marvel 4d experience.

Genuinely really impressed. Wasn’t sure what to expect but there is so much more to see and experience than I had imagined or seen on social media. The spirit of London part in the taxi’s is brilliant and the avengers 4D screening also great. Generally fantastic visit today. Loved seeing all the wax figures, ridiculously realistic some of them!

The museum visit needs atleast 2hrs.
3D show of Avengers and London ride are the best attractions to see. Overall a good place to spend time if you love to see the celebrities. Observed, few wax statues were missing.

Visited today as part of a London break. Entered at 2.45pm slot and was not too busy. Great tour, fantastic features over three floors. 4D Marvel experience was good but the Spirit of London section was exceptional
