Spookily lifelike wax effigies |
Marylebone Road London, London NW1 5LR +44 870 999 0046 http://www.madame-tussauds.co.uk/ |
The famous waxworks museum, started by Madame Tussaud in 1835, are one of the most popular tourist attractions in London, and usually have queues to match. Now they've introduced a fast-track booking system, so you should be able to bypass the queues by pre-booking a time slot for a £1 surcharge. Madame Tussaud learned her trade making death masks during the French Revolution, and those of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette are displayed beside the actual blade that beheaded them. There are wax models of the famous and the infamous from every walk of life, some of which are amazingly life-like. The Spirit of London exhibit is where memorabilia from London's past are on display. Review © 2009, Wcities |
