See life-size wax sculptures of Hollywood celebrities, historical figures and sporting stars at this famous wax museum in London.

Madame Tussauds wax museum is one of London’s most popular attractions and features a constantly growing collection of startlingly lifelike wax sculptures. Take pictures of yourself with wax depictions of royalty, including the Queen herself, as well as A-list celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn and George Clooney.

Visionary wax sculptor, Marie Tussaud, made death masks for those killed by guillotine during the French Revolution. She first exhibited her wax figures more than 200 years ago. Since then, the celebrated waxworks museum chain has branched out into other cities, including New York City, Berlin and Washington, D.C.

Wander through the exhibits and see how many familiar faces you recognize. Come face-to-face with wax depictions of Hollywood stars, including Whoopi Goldberg and Kate Winslet. This remarkable museum also displays sculptures of memorable fictional characters from films including The Terminator and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Study the faces of international sporting legends, such as Usain Bolt, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Muhammad Ali. Admire portrayals of some of history’s greatest artists, writers and intellectuals, including Vincent Van Gogh, Charles Dickens and Albert Einstein. The museum also showcases wax representations of well-known YouTube celebrities.

This beautiful park encompasses Regent’s University London and London Zoo.

Very few amount of electric sockets in the room especially with 1 of the broken. The room was clean on 1st appearance but top of cupboard covered in dust. Room interior is dated including carpet, little amount of storage room. Front desk staff very pleasant and helpful especially on helping us to store our cases on checkout day so we could have a final day in the city without our luggage. Very close to the nearest underground station

Beautiful decoration of both the hotel in general and the room. The room was slightly on the small side but very nice. The restaurant was excellent for both our evening meal and breakfast, however although the service was good I disliked the 15% service fee applied. Although the norm for the US, it is certainly not

Very nice although the line to enter was obscenely long. I purchased the fast track rather than waiting.
