    Advantages Advantages 'meet & touch' celebrities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive, small, crowded, not enough to see

    I first encountered Madame Tussauds Waxwork in London when I was working as a tourist guide many moons ago and had the good fortune (or rather misfortune) to take groups of tourists to this attraction. It's fun the first couple of times but then you start to resent the place with a passion. Luckily the job only lasted a few years but it left me with a bitter taste in my mouth regarding this particular London attraction and no desire to ever set foot into the building again. In Spring this year when I got another Tussauds Group annual pass (6 months too late for cheaper renewal) - allowing ... more

    4 Stars Madame Tussauds is a good laugh! Review with images 12/08/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A good laugh, photo opportunities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the price

    When I first was planning to visit London I knew that one of the places I wanted to go was to the Madame Tussauds wax works attraction. I have since been another time since my first visit and so I thought I would write a review. I hope this is of some assistance to you. How to get there Madame Tussauds is easily accessible from the Baker Street tube station and is just a couple of minutes walk down the road from the tube station exit. The attraction is on Marylebone Road. The Baker Street tube station is served by the Bakerloo, Circle, Jubilee, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines so it ... more

    4 Stars Be prepared for long queues! 09/07/2012

    Advantages Advantages the 4d film was good, some wax models are of great quality, can be a educational family day out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages long queues, can get a bit boring at times, crowded, hard to take photos

    Last year I visited Madame Tussauds in London. It was not a planned visit, I was in London and whilst looking for something to do for the afternoon, the decision was reached to come and look at Madame Tussauds. What is Madame Tussauds?? Madame Tussauds basically contains wax models.. (some realistic looking, some not so) of various people and celebrities. Ranging from sports, royalty, pop stars, world leaders, film actors and actresses (both hollywood and bollywood). At the time of writing the Sport Star wax models at the London Madame Tussauds include: David Beckham, (Wayne Rooney was there ... more

    Advantages Advantages Amazing attention to detail, worth at least one visit.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The price, All the added extras you could spend £50 each easily

    A few weeks ago on my first adventure into London in a few years we decided that a trip to Madame Tussauds was in order. It had proved to be a day where we couldn’t decide what to do. Having been at the Dungeons earlier in the day we were going to go to The Millennium Eye. Due to a low cloud covering over London we decided it’d be a waste of money so we headed for Madame Tussauds instead. As it comes included in my Theme Park annual pass was just a bonus. If you’ve not heard of Madame Tussauds it’s a large museum containing a number of wax works based on famous people. The wax works started in ... more

    3 Stars I won't be mixing with the stars again soon! Review with images 08/11/2011

    Advantages Advantages Wax models of real-life stars

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get very busy, Some wax models don't look like the stars!

    ***MADAME TUSSAUDS*** I'm pretty sure most people will have heard of Madame Tussads which is based in London, how-ever they also have other exhibitions across Europe and in other countries as well. They have a range of various wax models based on famour stars such as David Beckham, Royalty, Film character, Singers such as Lady Gaga and Britney Spears and more. These model's are created to look exactly like the stars they are based on and a lot of time and effort goes into the making of these wax models. If you go to their website you can find lots of information about how Madame Tussauds first ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good if you like celebrities!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too busy, expensive

    I spent the Easter weekend in London; I had never been to London before and so I was very excited about seeing all of the famous tourist attractions. One of the attractions we went to see was Madame Tussauds. First of all, as I had previously been to Louis Tussauds in Blackpool, I wasn’t that fussed about Madame Tussauds, as my views are, once you’ve seen it once, you’ve seen it all. However, as there were 6 members in a group, we decided to go with the majority who did want to see the wax models. For those of you who don’t know, Madame Tussauds is a very famous museum consisting of wax models ... more

    Advantages Advantages As it says in the title

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Getting caught and being asked to leave

    It would not be a school holiday if at some point I did not agree to put money into the pockets of the Madame Taussauds group and so yesterday we headed off for the ankle biters first ever visit to the waxworks. I had vague memories of visiting the place many years ago with an American girlfriend who shouted with glee in best JAP (Jewish American Princess) fashion at all of the Royal Family wax works. For those who have been living under a rock Madame Taussauds wax works is one of the most visited London attractions and it offers an ever changing attraction as it moves with the times.

    2 Stars Why you should not visit Madame Tussauds 22/04/2011

    Advantages Advantages Location, House of Chambers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long queues everywhere,crowded, expensive,tedious, overrated

    Madame Tussauds is a Waxworks Museum - almost like an exhibition hall where you can pay to see wax figures of all your favourite people; from actors to musicians, and royalty to historical figures. In London, the museum attracts a huge number of tourists (and others) every year and all year round but as a Londoner I feel I need to explain why you should really avoid it especially at peak times i.e. Easter holidays or summer holidays. There are some good things about the waxwork museum however there does seem to be a lot more annoying and maybe frustrating things attached to it, making it on ... more

    Advantages Advantages Photo Opportunities, Visit just the once.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Queuing, Bustle inside, Coffee prices.

    Upon a recent visit to London, I visited the World famous Madame Tussauds which I have wanted to do for many years. Madame Tussauds is one of London's and indeed the country's leading attractions - did it live up to expectations or was it as fake as the dummies ? A brief history ...... Madame Tussaud, born Marie Grosholt in Strasbourg, was born in 1761 and became a courtier in the famous court of Versailles in her early years. Being a member of the aristocracy in the turbulent times of the French revolution, she came to London to avoid the hostilities. When she did return to Paris, she married ... more

    Advantages Advantages Entertained me for a couple of hours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many people and not worth the money. I wouldn't go back

    Madame Tussauds On the way home from our honeymoon we stopped in London for a night and decided to go to Madame Tussauds after hearing lots about it. Madame Tussauds is a wax works museum where there are real life sized wax figures of famous people. You can walk around and get your photograph with what seems to be the rich and famous. To get there you can go by train, tube or by bus, To get there by train make your way to Marlebone station and it is within 10 minutes walk from the station. We took the tube and had about approximately a five-minute walk to Madame Tussauds. The nearest tube ... more
