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.

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
I had an amazing experience at the Madame Tuassads London. I have already been to other places but this one was different. In addition to various wax statues there was a ride which was very beautiful. Also there was 3D show which was star of the whole lot. Would highly recommend even if you have visited other wax museums. Its clean and wait time is not much.

I had a fantastic experience at Madame Tussauds London! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was exciting and full of energy. The wax figures are incredibly lifelike — it honestly felt like standing right next to world-famous celebrities, historical icons, and even superheroes.
The interactive zones made the visit even more enjoyable. The Marvel and Star Wars experiences were highlights for me, and I loved how immersive the settings were. Everything was well-organized, and staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience.
It’s not just about seeing the figures — it’s about the journey through culture, history, film, sports, and music all in one place. A great mix of fun, photo opportunities, and a bit of awe.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in London!

A fun and interactive experience! The wax figures are incredibly lifelike from movie stars and musicians to royalty and sports legends. Great photo opportunities everywhere. The Marvel and Star Wars sections are especially cool. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone visiting London for the first time.

Our visit to Madame Tussauds turned out to be one of those experiences that truly stays with you. The sheer detail in the wax figures is remarkable, some of them so realistic that we had to look twice. My wife and son had a wonderful time taking pictures across the different zones, and the interactive features added an extra layer of excitement. The 4D show was impressive, and the Spirit of London ride, which takes you through the city’s history in a creatively designed journey, was a delightful surprise. The entire experience was far more captivating than we had imagined, and we left wishing we had allowed a bit more time. My wife was absolutely over the moon, and it easily became one of the highlights of our London visit.
