Description
Madame Tussauds displays waxworks of celebrities and historical figures - visitors can take their picture next to the life-like replicas. The London Museum was the first such concept and was created by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud in 1835; there are now over 25 museums in various cities in the world with the band name.
Access & Transport
The museum is best reached by underground with Baker Street station (Bakerloo, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee and Metropolitan lines) right next to it. Plenty of bus stops on Marylebone Rd a few seconds from the entrance as well.
Instructions & Recommendations
Best to book ahead of time as the volume of visitors is controlled and capacity is limited. This attraction can be combined with a visit to the Sherlock Holmes Museum, a discovery of the Marylebone village neighbourhood and/or a walk in Regent's Park.
Environmental & Social
The activity has a low carbon footprint, and the operator uses electricity from renewable sources. Socially neutral
Conclusion
Madame Tussauds is sure to divide opinions: on one side will be those that see little point to the concept and on the other those who find it fun. So, it should be a pretty easy choice, unless you are in a group with mixed interests, in which case price and budget may come into play and on that front, unless you get good promotions, the rack price is in our view far from being justified.
Key positive
Craftmanship is overall excellent
Family friendly activity
Some fun pictures if you are into the VIP / people social concept
Key negative
Very expensive for what it is and the cost of running the place
Concept of looking at wax sculptures of famous people is not for everyone
Suitability
Suitable for all ages. The attraction is accessible to people with reduced mobility but wheelchair slots need to be booked in advance
