🎟️See Madame Tussauds London tickets on GetYourGuide →Where it is
Madame Tussauds London sits on Marylebone Road in Marylebone, NW1 5LR, a minute's walk from Baker Street Underground station. Baker Street is served by the Bakerloo, Circle, Jubilee, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines, so it's easy to reach from almost anywhere in central London. The entrance is directly on Marylebone Road.
What to see
- Over 150 lifelike wax figures across 8 themed zones, spanning celebrities, the Royal Family, music, sport and film.
- Marvel and Star Wars experiences, plus the Spirit of London ride.
- Fast Track / priority-entrance tickets that let you skip the main queue.
- An optional 1835 Champagne Bar upgrade that includes a complimentary drink.
Skip-the-line vs guided tour
Because Madame Tussauds is a timed-entry attraction, the main choice is between standard admission and a Fast Track (skip-the-line) ticket rather than between a self-guided visit and a guided tour.
Standard admission gets you in at your booked time slot at the lowest price, but standard queues can be long at peak times, so you may still wait to enter.
Fast Track entry lets you bypass the main queue, which is worth flagging when the attraction is busy. Keep in mind that even Fast Track is a timed-entry ticket, not an instant walk-up pass, so you still arrive within your chosen window.
Combo tickets (pairing entry with the London Eye or SEA LIFE) and the Fast Track + 1835 Champagne Bar upgrade are also available if you want to bundle your day or add a treat.

Insider tips
- Book online in advance. It's almost always cheaper than the walk-up gate price.
- Choose an early or later time slot to avoid the busiest midday crowds.
- Consider Fast Track if you're visiting at a peak time, as standard queues can build up.
- If you're seeing more than one attraction, a combo ticket with the London Eye or SEA LIFE can save money.
- Arrive within your booked time window rather than treating any ticket as walk-up entry.
Is it worth it?
Madame Tussauds London is a genuinely ticketed attraction, and third-party resellers are legitimate here, so you can book real timed admission and Fast Track entry with confidence. If you enjoy pop culture, film, music and getting photos alongside eerily lifelike figures, it's a fun, weatherproof few hours in central London. Fast Track is worth considering because standard queues can be long, but even that is a timed-entry ticket rather than instant walk-up. Prices vary, and booking online ahead of your visit is almost always cheaper than paying at the gate.
