Directions

Madame Tussauds London is on Marylebone Road, a short walk from Baker Street Underground station.

Madame Tussauds London traces its origins to Marie Tussaud, who learned wax modelling in 18th-century France and made likenesses of figures associated with the French Revolution. After bringing her collection to Britain, she opened a permanent exhibition on Baker Street in 1835; the attraction moved to its present Marylebone Road site in 1884. Its long-running Chamber of Horrors reflects an early fascination with crime and revolution, while today’s galleries place historical figures alongside performers, athletes and other contemporary celebrities. The life-size figures have made Madame Tussauds a landmark of London popular culture, inviting visitors to encounter fame and history at close range. It pairs easily with a Camden day out, though the museum itself is in Marylebone.

Before you enter

  • Check the day’s opening hours before setting out; they may vary.
  • Allow around 2–3 hours to explore, as suggested by visitor reviews.
  • Plan your route to Baker Street station rather than central Camden.
  • If visiting with children, consider whether the horror-themed areas will suit them.

What to expect

  • Expect life-size wax figures of celebrities, sports stars and historical figures.
  • Several galleries offer close-up photo opportunities.
  • Some displays include interactive experiences as well as figures.
  • Popular photo spots may involve a wait.

During your visit

  • Start with the figures you most want to see in case later galleries feel crowded.
  • Take photos without blocking others’ access to the displays.
  • Give children a heads-up before entering darker-themed sections.
  • Leave time for both the galleries and the interactive displays.
