Tickets purchased online not only offer discounts off standard price entry but also guarantee entry at popular times of the year.

Madame Tussauds London; Timing
It is worth considering the timing of your visit in order to bypass the queues that naturally build around the entrance to Madame Tussauds. The main entrance feeds from both the standard & Fastrack queues, where both lines are required to go through ticket checks, bag searches & security. Once you’ve entered the attraction, you free-flow around the setting, so it is arrival times that cause the bulk of the queues. Opening and closing times vary at Madame Tussauds London, so worth planning accordingly. If you’ve selected the first times of the day, it’s worth noting that visitors queue before the attraction opens for the day, so aim to arrive 30/40 minutes beforehand. Alternatively, buck the trend & opt for a later afternoon visit.
Madame Tussauds London; Fast Track Tickets
For those looking to bypass the bulk of the queues, it can be worth investing in a Fast Track ticket for this popular attraction. Fast Track ticket holders have a separate entrance line into the attraction for quicker access. For those looking to pack more into their day, fastrack entry offers both a convenient and quicker method into Madame Tussauds London. As you arrive at the attraction, head directly to the dedicated Fast Track entry line.
Madame Tussauds London: One-Way Tour
Madame Tussauds London isn’t a visitor attraction you can wander back & forth freely. This one-way tour starts by taking a lift to the top floor before navigating a prescribed path around the attraction. This isn’t a setting that you can wander around freely, so worth ensuring you have seen all that you wish to in each area before moving on.
Madame Tussauds London; Photographs
Madame Tussauds London offers a perfect opportunity to get up close & personal with the stars for your socials. Whilst you’ll see in-house photographers camping out at some of the more popular attractions, you are free to snap away too. 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. Look out for options to purchase photographic souvenirs, with more information available within our Madame Tussauds London Photo Guide.

Excellent tips, thank you!
Thank you Kunal, I hope they come in handy with your visit to Madame Tussauds London:)
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:)
