How long are the queues at Madame Tussauds?
Madame Tussauds is one of London's popular attractions, and queues can become particularly noticeable during weekends, school holidays and other peak periods. The attraction itself recommends quieter periods later in the day during busy dates, although visitor flow varies daily.
Unlike a standard ticket, Fast Track lets you use a dedicated priority entrance, helping you avoid the main admission queue. However, Madame Tussauds does not publish a guaranteed Fast Track waiting time, so it's better not to promise a fixed number of minutes saved.
Once inside, crowd levels can still vary between zones and experiences. Fast Track applies to entry into the attraction, not automatic priority access throughout the venue.
Note: These queue conditions can change by date, time and visitor volume. Weekend and school-holiday visits are generally more likely to be busy.
