1. Madame Tussauds; Timed Tickets
Our Madame Tussauds Cheap Ticket Guide suggests that during busy times, it’s worth booking online not only to pick up cheaper tickets but also to take advantage of timed tickets. Whilst timed entry 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. Madame Tussauds; Timing
Timing is everything if you are looking to beat the queues during particularly during busy times at Madame Tussauds. Whilst people tend to flock to Madame Tussauds early in the day to bypass the queues, it might be worth bucking the trend & opting for a later afternoon visit. Closing times vary at Madame Tussauds so worth checking out the times on the day of your visit and plan accordingly. There are 7+ entrances into Madame Tussauds so ensure you are queuing for access at the the correct door by checking signage above each entrance.

5. Madame Tussauds; One Way Tour
Unfortunately there is only one way around Madame Tussauds London; you start by taking the lift to the top floor & then follow the path around the attraction. This isn’t a setting that you can wander around freely, so ensure you have seen all that wish to in each area before moving on as there is no going back.
6. Madame Tussauds; Photographs
With the exception of those exhibits that have an in-house photographer in place, there is no particular queuing system in place to pose with your favourite waxwork model. Whilst this system means there are plenty of models to choose from, it can get a little heated at times, particularly during busy periods. Best to keep smiling & be patient!

How long does it take to get round all of Madame Tussaud ‘s?
Hi Angela, to some it extent it does depend upon how busy it is at Madame Tussauds & what you would like to achieve during your visit. I would suggest Madame Tussauds London is a half day experience – on a quiet day you could be round in a couple of hours but on a busier day where you want to take plenty of photos then this could take significantly longer.
hello, I`m going to visit london at the end of july. My daughters like to visit madame tussauds….can anybody tell me if there ar two for one tickets at advertising like kellogs or anything?
Thanks from germany
Hi Petra there is an adults go free voucher, (that works in the same way as a 2 for 1 voucher), on promotional packets of Kellogg’s breakfast bars & cereals. Each voucher offers 1 adult free entry when accompanied by a full paying adult or child that pays the on-the-gate ticket price, (just cannot combine these with online ticket discounts). More details available at 2 for 1 vouchers for Merlin Attractions. Have a good trip over to London:)
