1. Madame Tussauds; Timed Ticket Entry

Take advantage of Timed Ticket Entry to Madame Tussauds when you book online that not only guarantees entry but helps you reduce you wait time.  Whilst timed sessions will not completely avoid the queues, (Madame Tussauds suggest you should anticipate up to a 40 minute wait during peak times), it will substantially reduce your waiting time.

2. NEW The Voice Experience at Madame Tussauds London

Look out for The Voice UK Experience that is new to Madame Tussauds London.  Snap yourself next to Will.i.am in Madame Tussauds latest wax figure before taking on the role of coach in one of the iconic red chairs.  This interactive experience has you and 2 other guests deciding which of the contestants goes through to the next round when you push the button.

3. Madame Tussauds London; 2 for 1 Vouchers

Look out for a range of 2 for 1 vouchers for Madame Tussauds London that offers FREE entry when accompanied by a full paying person. Unfortunately you cannot combine online savings with a 2 for 1 voucher and many do not offer timed ticket entry so worth weighing up the actual savings being made. However it does offer a cheaper option that can be particularly beneficial during off-peak times. You can find more information on available deals over at Madame Tussauds/Merlin Attractions – 2 for 1 Vouchers.

Often the best online savings can be found directly with Madame Tussauds with discounts of up £6pp off standard price tickets.  Online tickets also offer timed ticket entry plus a dedicated entry point into the setting, (standard ticket holders should anticipate up to a 40 minute wait during peak times whilst premium ticket holders can bypass all entry queues).

5. Priority Entrance at Madame Tussauds

For those looking to plan more into their day, look out for fastrack entrance into Madame Tussauds London that allows you to bypass all the entrance queues.  This Priority Entrance ticket can only be purchased online in advance and offers a dedicated entrance away from standard ticket holders offering you quick access into this popular setting.  Can be beneficial during peak times or for those trying to fit more into their visit to London.

6. The Sherlock Holmes Experience at Madame Tussauds London

This interactive experience has you turn detective to help Sherlock & Watson solve the latest mystery.  As you move between 5 different settings you are met by a range of costumed actors that help set the scene & find clues along the way.  Whilst this experience is free for standard & premium Merlin Passholders, there is an additional charge in place for standard ticket holders and, in our view, adds limited value to your Madame Tussauds visit.

7. Madame Tussauds; Quieter Times

Timing is everything if you are looking to beat the queues at Madame Tussauds London.  If you have any flexibility plan your visit during off peak times or opt for earning morning/late afternoon visit to avoid busy times.   Closing times vary at Madame Tussauds so worth checking out the times on the day of your visit and plan accordingly.

8. Madame Tussauds London; Walk This Way

It’s a one way track around Madame Tussauds London with no going back.  Your visit starts with a lift to the top floor from where you follow a defined path around the attraction until you leave via the gift shop. This isn’t a setting in which you can wander around freely, so ensure you have seen all that wish to in each area before moving.

The great advantage with Madame Tussauds is that you get the chance to get up close & personal with the stars.  Whilst you’ll see in-house photographers camping out at some of the most popular attractions, don’t feel that these are off limits to you.  You are welcome to take your own photos with ALL of the statues on display at Madame Tussauds.
