London Madam Tussauds

To be honest I didn't find anything special. I've been to places like the eye, regular visitor to royal albert hall, variuos musicals etc and found those places to be more live.

Don't get me wrong it's a nice place to visit once, and I would recommend everyone to go there, but I wouldn't go there again.

It's a wax museum, what else you'd expect. I'd rather meet with those people in person :)

There was some action at the end of the tour, but you have to see it yourself.

I remember going to Madam Tussauds many years ago and it was great. Last year I went back and took my children with me. It was one of the best days out with have had in a long while.

Although we had to queue, it wasn't for too long. The staff were quick to get us all moving and inside as soon as possible. Everyone was friendly and helpful and I had no complaints.

The actual figures are fantastic and being able to get up close and take some pictures were the best part. All ages seemed to be enjoying it just as much as each other. The longest line was to have your picture taken with the Royal Family - you really couldn't pass that one by.

I would definitely recommend this for a great day out, you won't be disappointed. We will be visiting Madam Tussauds again, and I know there will be a few new faces amongst the old faithfuls.

Cannot wait to go back!

Though I wasn't sure I wanted to go in, but once I did I realized that it was worth it because the wax figures look like they are alive, it is absolutely amazing how they do that.

I don not know how they do it, but some of the figures are as if they are alive. Amazing place.

Madame Tussauds was a wonderful attraction the waxworks were fantastically presented in themed rooms such as A - List, Sports, Royalty, Hollywood, Music and Politics containing the likes of Jonny Depp and Bradgelina to David Beckham, Nelson Mandela and Mohammmed Ali.You can make your way round the attraction at your own pace taking as many photos of the stars as you like! There were also other mini attractions within all included in the admission price but not compulsory. Scream, a scary walk thru in the dark where actors jump out and scare you and The Spirit of London, a quaint taxi journey through the histiory of London (very tongue in cheek). A history of the famous host Madame Tussaud and how the waxworks are made as well as the oppurtunity to have a waxwork of your hand made before your eyes.

Madam Tussauds in London has a very nice entrance, and a warm welcome from a lot of press reporters, even though it was fake, but it's nice to feel that way. There are a lot of famous personalities. The best part about it was the Planetarium, and the 5 minute presentation of space was amazing!

I went to London's Madam Tussauds in nov 2002 for my 18th birthday. It was very expensive for what it was. There were alot of very good models, sadly there were not enough of them. Some of them were very poor look alikes. The torture chamber was great but not at all suitable for young children.

Madame Tussauds (London) is one of the massive chains of Tussauds wax museums across the world. It can be found directly by Baker Street (London Underground station). It is easily visible, and the green 'Planetarium' dome is what you should look for! Entrance for Adults (including all the attractions) is £23.99, and children (also everything) are £19.99. Tussauds Pass owners get in for free. Madame Tussauds is always changing the exhibits, but I will review what I viewed when I visited. You are guided into an elevator which takes you up into 'Blush', a celebrity filled zone. You step onto flashing cameras - this is to make YOU a celebrity! You step into 'Blush' and you are greeted by Tara Palmer-Tomkinson spraying water at you! Also in the room is Kylie Minogue, George Clooney and many other famous celebrities.

You then move on to the changing exhibit. Still there today is the 'I Believe In A Thing Called Rock' exhibit. This lets you pick up a guitar, and basically, you rock with Justin Hawkins from the band The Darkness.

Then you move onto the 'Premier Night' zone. My favourite zone, because I liked posing with Pierce Brosnan pretending to be James Bond! Such stars in this zone are Steven Spielberg, Michael Jackson (a much older version) and 'The Terminator'! The zone is filled with many movie stars and a few famous music faces. Most so far are realistic at Madame Tussauds.

Then, you move on to the 'World Stage' zone. You won't find anyone not famous in here! Current and former world leaders, sports stars, and more pop stars fill the room. Also, the Royal Family stand as one on a stage. Also in the room is another changing exhibit; it is now a makeshift Big Brother diary room.

Moving downstairs is 'Chamber Live'. DO NOT go in here if you are frightened of things jumping out in the dark! This is very scary for me, and my 10 year old was very scared too! It is people dressed up in shabby clothes jumping out and scaring you. Sounds OK, but it is scary, and you will be happy to get out!

Then, you will see the 'Spirit of London' ride. This is NOT scary (lots of my family asked me), and it is a delightful ride through London's history. You ride in London taxi/cabs, and it is a complete History of London from the Elizabethan times to today.

You then go past another changing exhibit, which is currently a Jos Mourinho 'football game'. Now, it looks like you are finished.

A lot of people do not notice that the 'Auditorium' comes WITH your ticket (times depending - schools etc). It is a spectacular trip into space and beyond. You must not miss it!

Then, you are done, and exit on to the famous London Street (not before a walk through the Madame Tussauds shop).

Madame Tussauds is a good few hours out of the bustling street, but take plenty of drinks because it does get hot and stuffy. There is a Costa Coffee shop just before the Chamber Live exhibit. Kids will enjoy Madame Tussauds, but adults may get bored after a while. I hope you can visit.

Found Madam Tussauds to be a big let down, yes the models are life like, but not enough of them, yes the chamber live is scary, but they are hardly serial killers as advertised. Overall I thought it was overpriced (over £20/adult) and over too soon. Won't be recommending it to anyone

We went to Madam Tussauds last year. Thoroughly recommended. If you stand in a place to get eye contact with the models it gives you a strange sensation.

Try standing very still. After a few minutes, people will come up close to you and say "Who is this one supposed to be ?" - unless you happen to be David Beckham :)
