London Tickets

Plan your visit to Madame Tussauds London

Navigating your way

Start at the main entrance on Marylebone Road. The visit follows a guided internal flow through themed zones spread across several floors, ending near the exit and gift shop.

Enter via Marylebone Road 👉

This is the main public entrance for all ticket holders, including Fast Track visitors. A security check is mandatory, and entry is strictly timed, so arriving 10 to 15 mins early is recommended.

Follow the themed route inside 👉

Once inside, staff guide visitors through zones in a set order. While you can spend as long as you like in each zone, movement between areas generally follows a one-way flow to manage crowds.

Continue through immersive experiences 👉

Key highlights such as the Marvel Super Heroes 4D experience and the Spirit of London ride are integrated into the route. Short waits are common here, especially during peak hours.

Exit through the shop and lobby 👉

The route ends near the gift shop and exit area, where you can browse souvenirs or take a short break before leaving.

Handy tips

  • Reserve ahead: Walk-ups regularly face 60 to 90 min queues on weekends and holidays. Fast-track tickets usually cut this to 10 to 20 mins, especially between 11am to 3pm.
  • Pick calmer windows: The quietest stretch is 10am to 11:30am from Tuesday to Thursday. After 4pm, school groups thin out but ride queues can spike.
  • Sequence smartly: Head to Royals and Marvel first. These zones back up early, while Music and Sports stay manageable until mid-afternoon.
  • Bag rules matter: Bags larger than A4 aren’t allowed inside. Lockers fill by midday, forcing re-queuing if you arrive unprepared.
  • Photo reality check: Flash photography and filming are not permitted in the 4D and ride sections, and staff will stop recordings immediately with no exceptions.
  • Combo math: Pairing Madame Tussauds with the London Eye or SEA LIFE often saves £10–£20 and avoids juggling multiple booking slots.

Know before booking your Madame Tussauds London tickets

Choosing the right ticket depends on how busy your travel dates are and how much time you want inside.

  • Best for flexible plans: Timed entry with full access to all zones and rides, suited to weekdays or off-peak dates when internal queues stay manageable.
  • When queues matter most: Priority entry through a separate line saves roughly 30–90 minutes on busy days, weekends, and school holidays inside the attraction.
  • Two icons, one booking: Pair celebrity encounters with a 30-minute London Eye rotation, simplifying planning while saving money versus buying both attractions separately.
  • Entertainment meets history: Combine Madame Tussauds with the Tower of London for a balanced itinerary mixing immersive fun with one of Britain’s most historic landmarks.
  • Family-friendly pairing: Match Madame Tussauds with SEA LIFE London to create a varied, child-friendly day featuring interactive exhibits, rides, and aquatic displays.
