I have been to Madame Tussauds countless times over the years as a small child, then as a teenager with friends and now as a GROWN UP with my own children, and it has always been so much fun to pose with all the stars. My personal favourites were of course Roger Moore as 007 and then the gorgeous Pierce Brosnan as 007. I always knew that Kylie was tiny but I still couldn’t believe it untill I stood beside her.
The attention to every detail on all of these waxworks is amazing. Each and every time I have been, has been like visiting for the first time as the exhibits are constantly being updated, refreshed and of course being kept current.
Yes the queues are long, but you can beat that by pre-booking your tickets in advance, then pick your tickets up from the ticket office and then you are fast tracked through. No queing at all which really you don’t want to do as your pins will have a lot of walking to do if you want to get around the whole exhibit in a day.
Beware the summer hols are here and there will be a lot of people and families here as it really is a great day out, so my advice if you live in London or close by is to try during the week out of holiday seasons. If you have no choice, then hey! at least you can get a family shot as there will be plenty of people to ask to take your shot for you. Good luck and enjoy as this is definitley not an attraction to be missed when visiting London.

The waxworks here are masterful at the very least. The attention to detail rivals the most masjestic works of art from the likes of the best artists in the world. If you have yet to visit madame tussads then i reccomend that you do as its an experience you wont want to miss!

This is a great place for the whole family to visit. You get to see what your favourite star looks like in real life - and how short or slim they really are. They have coffee shops and a place for lunch. You can go in to the live event and have a scare from the live performance artists. A great day trip out.

It has been a year or two since I was there but I suppose my comments still hold good :)
Luckily we didn’t have to queue very long at all but maybe we were lucky. The exhibits are astoundingly in general and although I am just of average height I was surprised how short a lot of the “famous” really are!
A good day out.

Right can I just ask the question before we start, why so few footballers? and where is Steven Gerrard! I’ll go back there when they have a statue of him so I can pose next to him ;). Well there are pros and cons to the place - the pros you can get close to the statues, take pics like mad, they look real, its a good laugh, great to do with your friends or as part of sight seeing if you are out of London. Tickets can also be found cheaper online. The cons though are it can be overcrowded, huge lines and you can’t move or get a perfect alone shot with people you want! the trick is to go on a non busy day. (weekdays perhaps) i like the scary bit and when you can go through live convicts, its fun and scary!
Good overall, recommended

My sister wanted to visit London for one reason alone, not the big galleries or museums or historic buildings and cathedrals. No she wanted to see a wax model of Kylie Minogue, or maybe it was Robbie Williams she was after. Either way, it says alot about the state of the world that people would rather look at wax models of celebrities than some of the greatest artworks of all time.
But then Madame Tussauds is absolutely incredible. The attention to detail is nothing short of amazing, and it's probably the closest most of us will get to Kylies bottom. It's real good fun.

Madame Tussauds is a great place to go and see, the wax models are excellent and the work that goes into them is agnominal.
When I was there I got my picture taken with Kylie and Buffy and tried to convince my mates I meet them in London when I got back home, lets say a few of them still believe I did meet them.

The displays are well thought out and you really need a full day to get around everything
All in all brilliant

I remember visiting this place when I was young and thought the first few people I met were real. The second time I went was a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. The wax sculptures were so real and lifelike. It kind off gives you a chance to meet the stars and celebrities in person. You get to see a lot of the Hollywood stars and the royal family and many other things. This is a place you shouold visit while you're in London. It is a nice place for a family to visit. There is plenly to keep everyone going.

Very clever and amusing to see all the stars in person. Slightly expensive if you go ahead with the extras a good day out but not for very small children as they might get bored just looking at people. But generally worth a visit if your down that way.

I will never forget going to Madum Tussaud's as a 10 year old and thinking the first few wax models were real! Whoever the artists are, they have done some outstandingly good impressions. In photographs it is sometimes hard to believe that the various celebrities are wax models! It is an awsome place for both adults and kids. An afternoon can be spent at this attraction easily... Tickets are pricely but unlike many of Londons attractions, this is good value! Don't forget your camera.

Madame Tussauds in my opinion is one of the London attractions worth flying for. It’s a place where you can see almost all celebrities’ wax reproductions. They’re are amazing.
The ones I liked most were Kylie Minogue, The Royal Family (with wonderful princess Diana) and a photographer in the pose of taking a picture. When was there I turned my back and saw this man (trying to take a picture) and I said
-Oh sorry sir,sorry sir!-
Then I thought - why isn’t he moving? How long does it take to snap a picture?!-
Then I realised it was a wax recreation. I laughed out loud. It is a nice place for family, friends and artists.
There so much to see; I spent most of the afternoon there but unfortunately did not finish to view it all.

I visited the London Planetarium and madame Tussauds when I was a child and I remember thinking it was magical!
They are two very different places but a great day out.
Now I live in London I definately want to go again and see it as an adult and not through child eyes!!
Its incredible and definately somewhere you should visit as a tourist of London.
