Madame Tussauds Tickets in London

I always remember visiting Madame Tussauds as one of the most fun experiences I had in London. Do not miss this magical place, especially if you are traveling with family or friends, where you will laugh, hallucinate and discover more than 250 characters.

On the Internet

I recommend buying tickets in advance on the internet: the queues are huge every day. You can choose between standard (general) and Premium tickets. And if you are going to spend several days in London, you can buy the London Explorer Pass, which includes this ticket and many others.

• General admission to Madame Tussauds, From $ 0
• London Explorer Pass, From $ 48

At the box office

Buying your ticket at the Madame Tussauds box office is possible, but it is a museum that attracts 2.5 million visitors a year and its queues can last 3 hours. My advice is that if you are thinking of buying your ticket there, go very, very early.

With this ticket you are assured access through a faster line than the rest of the visitors. In addition to enjoying a tour of the entire wax figures exhibition, the general admission to Madame Tussauds: you can access an interactive 4D experience with the Super Heroes of the Marvel Universe or sit in a typical London cab while you virtually travel through the history of the city in the Spirit on London Ride attraction.

You can also immerse yourself in the Star Wars galaxy alongside Yoda, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia in a stunning exhibit created in collaboration with Disney and Lucas Film.

Looking for direct access to the Madame Tussauds museum and all its activities? Get the Premium Ticket and enjoy a VIP experience. With this ticket you will skip the queues and you will be able to enjoy your visit to the museum to the fullest.

The premium ticket to Madame Tussauds opens the doors to all of Madame Tussauds and all of its immersive experiences. You can attend the Sherlock Holmes Experience, a theatricalized passage full of actors, sound effects and emotions that will transport you into the universe of the most famous detective in history.

The force will accompany you on your journey to a galaxy far, far away in the interactive exhibition of some of the most iconic scenes and characters from the Star Wars saga.

Finally, you can enjoy free popcorn while watching a 4D movie with the legendary Marvel comic book characters and ride through the key episodes and places of London's history aboard a typical cab on the Spirit London Ride.

There is also a third possibility of access to the Madame Tussauds museum, which I encourage you to consider if you are going to spend several days in the city. As you can discover in this other article I have written about London Pass:, a tourist pass is really practical, as it includes access to the main attractions in London saving a lot of time in queues and quite a lot of money in tickets.

The London Explorer Pass is London's must-have pass, offering a choice of up to 7 attractions from the 31 available, including Madam Tussauds.

The :Magic London Pass:, on the other hand, is the best pass for family travel as it includes access to 5 dream locations: the London Eye, the spooky rides at the London Dungeon, the fun adventures of Shrek's Adventure and the amazing London Aquarium at SEA LIFE London.

Vicky's Top Traveller Tip

Consider purchasing a sightseeing pass to save on your trip if you want to visit other attractions such as the London Eye.

As for the layout of the Madame Tussauds museum, I will tell you that it is divided into several thematic sections, all equally interesting, but I leave them here so you can organize your visit, emphasizing the characters that you most want to know.

Explore

It is the collection that includes immersive experiences in the Marvel and Star Wars universes and where you can see singer Dua Lipa and Princes Harry and Meghan up close;

Our Stars

It features celebrities from the spheres of film, social life and music and where you will verify the measurements of the rooms on which Kim Kardashian rests. You will take selfies with the incombustible Beyoncé, the delicate Audrey Hepburn and two of nature's primes like George Clooney and Brad Pitt, among many others.

Culture and History

Here you will travel through history through its Spirit of London Ride and the looks of some of the characters that marked it, such as Albert Einstein, Hitler, Van Gogh or Nelson Mandela, as well as being able to compare your height on a catwalk with some of the biggest top models in the world, such as Cara Delevigne.

Other experiences

Thanks to this section, you can come face to face with the dreaded Alien or King Kong and his animatronic head, more than 5 meters tall, and become Sherlock Holmes or a real YouTuber for a day.

Who would have thought centuries ago that Marie Tussauds, born in France, would become one of the most popular names in the world when she learned to mold in wax while working as a housekeeper. From her first exhibition in 1776 at the Royal Palace in Paris, her success was such that she was called to work as art teacher to the sister of King Louis XVI and ended up living in the Palace of Versailles itself!

When his mentor died, Tussauds inherited his entire collection of wax figures and his fame and recognition led to the nickname of Madame Tussauds and to the inauguration and installation, in 1884, of what is today the largest collection of celebrity figures in the world, the Madame Tussauds Museum.

Marylebone

As if that were not enough, you can take advantage of your visit to the Madame Tussauds museum to see other attractions offered by the district in which it is located, Marylebone. This area, south of Regent's Park, has the largest concentration of Georgian houses in London. Several terraced houses by John Nash, the famous English architect, embellish the southern end of the busiest royal park in the city.

Regent's Park

To complete a perfect day of sightseeing and relax a little after your long tour of the museum, you can not miss a visit to Regent's Park, less than 900 meters from Madame Tussauds. Its beautiful Queen Mary's Gardens are fabulous to spend a pleasant summer afternoon, as well as its lake, with a great variety of waterfowl.

The Sherlock Holmes House Museum
Just 200 meters from the museum, at 221b Baker Street, you can discover where Arthur Conan Doyle's most perceptive detective ever lived. Converted into an exhibition, the building of the Sherlock Holmes Museum, dating from 1815, has been furnished exactly like the apartment described in the books.

Marble Arch

Moving a little further away, but only a kilometer away from Madame Tussauds, you can discover the Marble Arch, a great triumphal arch that witnesses a daily whirlwind of traffic and which, also designed by John Nash in 1827, once served as the entrance to Buckingham Palace.

Oxford Street

If you have shopping to do, take the opportunity to stop by London's 'Fifth Avenue'. A little more than 1 kilometer from Madame Tussauds, on Oxford Street, you will find almost anything, from the most basic souvenirs to the latest fashions of great designers. It is a must at Christmas, when the streets are decorated with lights and decorations creating a really special atmosphere.

But if you are thinking about visiting any other attraction, my recommendation is that you value the London Eye.
