What’s the best way to go about it?

Buying individual tickets

Best for: Travelers who prioritize absolute flexibility or prefer to make last-minute decisions.

Pricing & value: Purchasing individual tickets for each attraction will be more expensive than a combo ticket, especially if you buy them on the day. However, this option allows you to book experiences like fast-track or VIP tours without being tied to the other.

Availability & reservations: You'll need to manage two reservations, ensuring your chosen times align and allowing sufficient travel time between them if visiting on the same day. Both attractions are extremely popular and can sell out, especially during peak seasons, holidays, and weekends. Booking individual tickets last minute may lead to disappointment.

Experience flow: You'll need to carefully coordinate your entry times and travel between attractions to avoid large gaps or rushed experiences. Unless you specifically purchase individual fast-track tickets, you might face longer queues.

Recommended tickets:

  • London Eye Admission Tickets
  • Madame Tussauds London Tickets

Getting combo tickets

Best for: Travelers seeking convenience, cost savings, and a streamlined experience. This is generally the most recommended approach for visiting both attractions.

Pricing & value: Combo tickets offer a 10% discount compared to separate tickets for each attraction, ideal for budget-conscious travelers, allowing you to save £5 or more. You essentially get more for your money, making it a more economical way to experience two top London attractions.

Guaranteed entry & easy scheduling: Combo tickets simplify the booking process, allowing you to secure both experiences with a single purchase. While you'll book a timed entry slot for Madame Tussauds, you then have flexibility for the London Eye within 90 days from your first visit. Online booking ensures your spot, especially important during peak times when walk-up tickets might sell out or involve very long waits.

Time efficiency: Pre-booked combo tickets mean shorter waits than purchasing tickets on the day. While not right next door, the London Eye and Madame Tussauds are well-connected by public transport. The journey between them is approximately 5.6 km, taking about 18-20 mins by tube.

Morning (Fewer crowds)

Starting early is best for both. Ride the Eye first thing for clearer views and shorter queues before the crowds gather. Or head to Madame Tussauds soon after opening to enjoy the figures and interactive elements with fewer people, making for better photos and a more relaxed pace.

Afternoon (Vibrant atmosphere)

The afternoon light offers a different photographic perspective from the Eye. While busier, the afternoon at Madame Tussauds can still be fun, with the lively atmosphere of other visitors.

Evening (Magical city lights/quieter museum)

A sunset or evening ride on the Eye is truly magical, as London's landmarks begin to twinkle with lights. Visiting Madame Tussauds in the late afternoon/early evening can be quieter than midday, as the initial rush subsides.

​London Eye timings

Location

London Eye: Located on the South Bank of the River Thames, near Waterloo, Embankment, Charing Cross, and Westminster tube stations.

Madame Tussauds: Located on Marylebone Road, directly opposite Baker Street tube station.

Here’s how easy it is to commute between the London Eye and Madame Tussauds:

  • By tube (Recommended): The most efficient way to travel is via the Jubilee Line. From Waterloo (London Eye) to Baker Street (Madame Tussauds) is a direct journey, taking approximately 15-20 mins, including walking to and from the stations.
  • By bus/taxi: Can be slower due to London traffic. Bus 453 operates between the London Eye area (St Thomas' Hospital/County Hall or Westminster Station/Parliament Square) and Baker Street Station (near Madame Tussauds). Journey times can range from 28 to 37 mins. Bus 139 also connects the London Eye area (Waterloo Bridge/South Bank) to Baker Street Station/York Street in around 32-43 mins.

Planning for a same-day visit:

  • Pros: Get both attractions done in one day, ideal if time is limited.
  • Cons: Can feel rushed; involves travel between locations.
  • Book the London Eye for early morning. Allow 2-3 hours for the visit, plus 30-45 mins for travel and transition between attractions. Book your second attraction for early to mid-afternoon.

Planning for a different day's visit:

  • Pros: No rush; allows more time to explore surrounding areas; better if you want to pair each with other nearby activities.
  • Cons: Spreads out your attraction visits, might require more planning for the overall itinerary.
  • Your ticket allows you to visit the London Eye within 90 days of your Madame Tussauds visit. Take advantage of this flexibility.

​Getting to the London Eye

Local tips

Insider's guide to the area

  • Pre-Madame Tussauds fuel-up: Grab a coffee or breakfast near Baker Street. There are several cafes in the area. Alternatively, explore independent shops and eateries on Marylebone High Street (a 10-15 min walk from Madame Tussauds) for a more local feel.
  • Post-London Eye wind down: After your London Eye ride, explore the South Bank further. Grab a bite at Borough Market (about a 15-20 min walk east along the Thames) for diverse food options, or find a riverside pub for a relaxing lunch.
  • Avoiding crowds: Both attractions are extremely popular. Visit during weekdays (Tuesday-Thursday) if possible, and outside of school holidays. Booking the first time slot of the day is always a good strategy for both.
  • Photography tips: Consider visiting the London Eye around "golden hour" (just before sunset) for beautiful light. In the capsule, try to get closer to the glass and avoid direct reflections. At Madame Tussauds, take advantage of the props and backdrops provided. 

Avoiding common mistakes

  • Don't overschedule: While combo tickets offer convenience, don't try to cram too much into one day. Allow ample time for each attraction, plus travel and breaks.
  • Factor in travel time: Even short tube rides need to account for walking to stations, waiting for trains, and walking from stations to the attraction. Add a buffer for this.
