  1. Madam Tussauds Wax Museum

  2. Madame Tussauds Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities. It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud and was formerly known as "Madame Tussaud's", but the apostrophe is no longer used (though it still appears in some signage at the New York location). Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers.

  3. How long is it exist? 200 years of fame Millions and millions of people have flocked through the doors of Madame Tussauds since they first opened over 200 years ago and it remains just as popular as it ever was. There are many reasons for this enduring success, but at the heart of it all is good, old-fashioned curiosity. Today’s visitors are sent on a unique, emotionally-charged journey through the realms of the powerful and famous. The museum-style ropes and poles have gone so guests can truly get up, close and personal with A-list celebrities, sporting legends, political heavyweights and historical icons, reliving the times, events and moments that made the world talk about them….

  14. Making wax figures is a labour of love. Over 800 hours of painstaking moulding, measuring, painting and sculpting goes into making each figure. We have a small army of highly trained wax sculptors who can replicate a Hollywood A Lister or world leader so exactly that you’ll believe that you are face to face with a real person. You’ll find yourself saying sorry to someone for nearly bumping into them, before realising it’s a wax figure of Penelope Cruz or Johnny Depp. That’s the skill of our sculptors. The big question though, is how do they do it? Behind The Scenes Making wax figures is a labour of love.

  15. Spirit of London Hop into a black cab and take a journey back in time. Our special, mini versions of London's world famous taxis have room for two and will drive you through the historic and cultural events that have shaped London into the great city it is today. So sit back and enjoy the ride! Your journey begins in Tudor times where Sir Francis Drake is riding the high seas. Quill in hand, Shakespeare is busy working on one of his masterpieces so don't expect him to look up when you drive past. You'll rush through a London haunted by plague and fire, slowing down just in time to see the new city being built by architect Sir Christopher Wren. Queen Victoria reigns over the London of the industrial revolution and you'll hear the air raid sirens before you enter a London at war. But don't worry; your cab will drive you safely through the blitz and into the swinging sixties, dropping you back off in today’s Madame Tussauds.
