The usual celebs and kings and queens of past and present are all on show at madame tussauds for all to see. If you want to see how tall Tony Blair really is or come face to face with the pope, then it is a must see.
It is only a short walk from the baker street tube station and buses do stop near by.
You can take a mini black cab ride through london, passing through various events starting with the tudor period on the way. Do not forget the chamber of horrors, always a crowd pleaser.
It is open from 9am till 6pm most days so that gives you more than enough time to see it all. On the rides children must have an adult with them if they are under the age of 16. Plenty of half price or buy one get one free vouchers about for this.]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:32:37 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/149ol71245356946 watermelon90 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1g2jr8

The famous Madame Tussaud's is a wax museum in London. Nearest Underground station is Baker Street. It is a museum where you can meet the wax lookalike of celebrities and famous personalities - from The Royal Family, Presidents past and present and Sports personalities to famous musicians, Hollywood actors and also Bollywood actors. They are painstakingly made to look very much like their real selves. It is a perfect place to get pictures with these stars. For the historians in you, it has a history of Madame Tussaud and how the museum came into being. There is also a very good train ride showing how London has changed over the years. I do feel that the tickets are very expensive - but then what isn't in London these days!]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:26:40 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1g2jr81844135723 keshnik 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1h7ie7

I have been here 3 times over the years and I enjoy it because there are different characters each time I visit depending on who is topical at the time.

What I really enjoy is the fact that you can get up close to the figures which you would probably never be able to do in public and see how tall they are and what they really look like close up.

Some are really surprising.

I knew Kylie Minogue was small but I never realised how small until I saw r waxwork here.

Then you get the countless opportunities to have your photo taken next to a celeb.

Great to show the kids later who you â¬Smet⬠in London.

The queues to get into this place can look horrendous, but they do seem to move quite fast and once inside you can browse at your leisure.

The models themselves are really good and the way they have the whole place laid out makes it have a more â¬Shomely⬠feel about it with models scattered around in alcoves and corners rather than being just set in big long lines for you to see as you walk by.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:39:59 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1h7ie7683114551 aybb60 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1g3hq8

I would recommend doing what I did and booking in advance
an after 5 Saver ticket (£12.50 each). This means that you can spend the day sight-seeing and seeing the other (more famous) London sights and then come to Madame Tussaud's at 5 (make sure you're there at 5 to get your 'money's worth'). Last entry is at 5:30 and I was slightly worried that i would regret having to 'rush' although the website assured me that this would be plenty of time. And it was. There was plenty of time to have a look around at the wax models. I was massively fussed about going (my girlfriend was more so) however it made for a nice trip to add to the day. The wax models were fairly impressive and interesting to look at. It might be my hawk eyes but a few of the models only looked a little like the people (but hey you can guess who they're suppose to be - and i've never seen the famous people in the flesh anyway). It was a nice way to get close to the stars.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:19:06 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1g3hq81292615760 samking 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/106hn8

As realistic the wax work are there is something quite strange about paying £20 just to have your picture taken next a piece of moulded wax that resembles Chantelle from big brother. There is no doubt the skill the craftsmen who mould and create the sculptures. I have been to Madame Tussaud's several times but each time I find it genuinely bemusing but find myself in the same situation a couple of years later. Every time I visit I end taking photographs for people who've asked me to make sure I get both William and Harry in to the photo. The horror section is the only part that I find vaguely entertaining.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:08:56 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/106hn831960192 carumbasra 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1d1gr9

Madame Tussauds is a famous attraction and so most people know what to expect.
I went with some friends and found that it made an enjoyable day out- just make sure you have space on your camera!!!
The artistry of the models is amazing. Most of them look so realistic that sometimes you really want to pinch it to make sure! However, some of the models i feel are not very realistic which can be a little disappointing.
Another problem with Madame Tussauds, as with other tourist attractions, is that it can get extremely busy and crowded. This is especially a problem here as so many people are taking pictures all the time. Everyone want the pic with David Beckham so you have to dart in quick and risk people walking in front of the camera.
However, this is not exactly something that can be avoided and it does not have that great an impact on your.
Over all i think it was a very enjoyable day out, even to just experience it once in your life!]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:49:19 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1d1gr9372865331 xaphania 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1x9fu7

Madame Tussaud's is truly amazing. It is so cool to see the famous global stars. The models look so real that is a bit weird at first but it is fun having your picture taken with all the stars. It is quite busy and crowded so that ruins the atmosphere a little bit tough. This is a great visit and is enjoyable for all ages. I would love to go again as they keep on adding new additions so I would see a few new faces. All in all it is well worth a visit if you are in London.]]> Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:53:37 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1x9fu71651431781 doggydogfoot 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1l0fs9

I loved it. When you first walk in it's freaky cos they look real and it freaks you out but that was all part of the excitement. There was a big brother diary room where you can go in and "big brother" talks to you and gives you a task which you can go on to buying the dvd for £15 I believe. They were doing a talent show whith some horrendous singing but was funny. I would definantly go again.]]> Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:55:56 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1l0fs9155680112 reyhan 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1t9bb8

We visited Madam Tussauds again after not having gone for a few years. I thought the queues were really bad and it has got so expensive for what it is even with 2for1 offers. Literally you shuffle along with people in front of you and behing you.]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:51:25 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1t9bb8999770030 susancs 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1g0bt8

Firstly the prices are very extortionate and i believe this is to compensate for the amount of deals such as 2 for 1 which are on offer. They have simply doubled the price of a single adult to compensate for the free entry in my opinion.
Secondly some of the wax works arn't really that impressive, and i believe they should have gone for quality rather than quantity.
thirdly the eating faciluties are again ridiculously priced, with a simple drink and snack for four people reaching over the £10 mark!
Finally i found the whole experience a bit boring and couldn't see the appeal of having a photo with a waxwork as you would simply have to explain "oh no it's just me and a waxwork".]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:46:07 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/1g0bt81010463991 deadleg21 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/118b47

I visited Madame Tussauds with a friend, and both of us work for the Merlin Entertainments group so we got free entry, and I have to confess, we had a brilliant time. The models are remarkably lifelike, and we did get excited and have photos taken with many of them. There's something for everyone - the models are not limited to current celebrities, meaning that it's aimed at all age and interest groups.

Both of us agreed at the end of the day, that we wouldn't pay the prices to go in. You join queues from the very start, and don't lose those until you walk through the exit. We found other guests to be incredibly rude, and were pushed and shoved more than we would care to be.

It's a great one-off, in my opiinion, but probably not something I would repeat.]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:41:02 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1r42m8g/madame-tussaud-s/118b47431251553 sarahjane87 51.523197832585 -0.15205089856303
