About this tour

Step into Madame Tussauds London and get face to face with more than 150 wax figures of celebrities, musicians, athletes, royals, and world leaders. The attraction is laid out in themed zones you can wander at your own pace, and the whole idea is to walk right up and pose for photos with the figures. Most people spend about two to three hours here. Buying your ticket ahead of time guarantees entry and keeps you out of the walk-up queue, which gets long in peak season.

Highlights

  • Explore themed zones with interactive, hands-on exhibits
  • Get right up close to your favorite stars
  • Snap photos you can only get here, posing with the figures

Good to Know: Zones, Opening Hours, and Getting There

Madame Tussauds London is split into themed zones you can work through at your own pace. The Royal Family area puts you alongside wax figures of the British monarchy, while the Film zone lets you pose with characters from big-screen blockbusters. The Music zone lines up pop and rock legends, the Sports zone has world-class athletes, and the World Leaders zone covers influential figures past and present. Each area comes with interactive displays and plenty of spots to grab a photo.

Opening hours shift with the day and the season, so confirm them on the official website before you come. The attraction is usually open from around 09:00 or 10:00 and closes somewhere between 16:00 and 18:00, with extended hours during busy periods and holidays; it is closed 24 to 31 August and on 25 December. It sits on Marylebone Road (NW1 5LR), a short walk from Baker Street Underground station, which several lines serve. Buses run nearby too. Parking is limited and traffic is heavy, so public transport is the easier way in.
