What an amazing day out in London! Starting around London Bridge was the perfect way to kick things off — great atmosphere, iconic views and that proper “I’m really in London” feeling. Madame Tussauds was way better than I expected: the attention to detail on the figures is unreal, it’s packed with fun photo moments, and the whole experience feels really well put together. SEA LIFE was the perfect finish — relaxing, beautiful, and surprisingly impressive with so much to see (the underwater views and the different zones are brilliant). Overall it felt like a full, memorable day with something for everyone. Definitely worth it and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting London

I could not have chosen a better day to go. No crowds. This was a birthday treat for my daughter. Both attractions were brilliant...

Things to know before booking your Madame Tussauds London tickets

  • Book in advance: Madame Tussauds London is one of the city’s most popular attractions, so tickets sell out fast, especially during holidays and peak season. If you have a specific time slot in mind, you’ll want to book online at least two weeks ahead.
  • Types of tickets: You can choose from standard entry tickets, fast-track tickets or combo tickets. Combo options let you pair Madame Tussauds with SEA LIFE London or the Tower of London, depending on what you’d like to see.
  • What’s included: Standard entry tickets give you access to over 150 wax figures, all themed zones, the Chamber of Horrors, and the Spirit of London ride. If you book a combo, you’ll also get entry to either the Tower of London, including the Crown Jewels, or SEA LIFE London with access to all exhibits.
  • Upgrades: Make your visit extra special by upgrading your standard or fast‑track ticket to include the 1835 Champagne Bar with a complimentary drink (paid add‑on). Combo tickets with SEA LIFE London can also be upgraded to include the London Eye for a thrilling 30‑minute ride with stunning city views.
  • When to choose combos: If you’re short on time or want to tick off two top London attractions in one day, combo tickets are a great option. They’re better value than buying tickets separately and come with great discounts that’s worth every penny.
  • Best time to visit: To enjoy smaller crowds, avoid peak season from May to August and school holidays. Mid-September or March usually offers a quieter, more relaxed experience. Note that the London Eye will be closed for maintenance from 5–18 January 2026.
  • Accessibility: Most areas are wheelchair accessible, but keep in mind that the Spirit of London ride requires walking for about 40 steps.
  • Restrictions: Madame Tussauds is suitable for most ages, but some areas, like the Chamber of Horrors, may not be ideal for young children. The Marvel Universe 4D experience also has a minimum height requirement of 1.02 metres (3'4").

  • However, opening hours can vary throughout the month, with extended hours on select days, so it’s always best to check the schedule for your specific visit.

Timings
  • Peak Season: Summer (June to August) and UK school holidays/long weekends are the most crowded months to visit Madame Tussauds.

  • Best times of day: Arrive early morning right at opening to beat the rush, or late afternoon as crowds thin near the last admission slot. Weekdays, especially during shoulder seasons, are generally less busy than weekends, making them a great choice for a quieter visit.

Visitor tips

  • Save Royals for last: Royal figures attract constant crowds; visiting them near closing time usually means shorter waits and cleaner photo backgrounds.
  • Ride before noon: Spirit of London queues build steadily; riding earlier keeps momentum high and avoids mid-visit bottlenecks later.
  • Marvel timing matters: Watch the Marvel 4D show right after a session ends to enter first and secure better seating positions.
  • Follow staff flow: Staff subtly guide crowd movement; staying with their suggested route helps avoid sudden congestion around popular figures.
  • Use portrait mode: Phone portrait mode works best here, softening background crowds and making wax figures look more realistic in photos.
  • Mind floor transitions: Crowds cluster near staircases and lifts; pause briefly before entering new floors to avoid unnecessary waiting.
  • Skip first photo urge: Early excitement slows visits; move past initial figures quickly and return later when crowds thin naturally.
  • Stand slightly sideways: Angled poses beside figures look more natural than straight on shots and reduce reflections from strong lighting.

Frequently asked questions about Madame Tussauds London tickets

Does timed entry limit how long I can stay inside?

Timed entry controls arrival flow, but you can stay inside freely, revisiting zones, shows, and photo spots until closing time.

What exactly does fast-track improve during the visit?

Fast-track mainly saves time outside; once inside, everyone shares the same routes, spaces, and viewing areas throughout the attraction.

Weekday mornings are quieter; weekends and school holidays feel busier after midday, especially during summer tourist peaks across London’s busiest months.

How long do visitors usually spend without rushing? 

Most families spend two to three hours, balancing photos, rides, films, and slower movement through popular zones during busy periods inside.

Are large bags or backpacks allowed?

Large bags are discouraged; compact backpacks work best since narrow corridors, stairs, and crowds make bulky luggage inconvenient inside the attraction.

How accessible is the attraction across floors?

The attraction spans multiple floors; lifts are available, but certain interactive sets require short steps or tighter access points throughout visits.

Is the Chamber of Horrors suitable for everyone?

Chamber of Horrors contains intense themes, sound effects, and visuals; it suits older teens and adults comfortable with true crime.

Do wax figures ever change or rotate?

Wax figures rotate occasionally; repeat visitors may notice updated outfits, poses, or newly added personalities across different zones over time.
