We had a meeting with the Queen herself! Or does this imitation look a bit wax(ck)y?? A visit to the world famous wax museum: Madame Tussaud's. I would recommend buying your ticket for this museum online - you save a few pounds AND you do not have to stand in the ticket line, which by the way was a few meters long going outside into the street.
It was one of the busiest tourist attractions we have been to. Don't be fooled thinking, that in winter, tourists stay home.... weather does not play a role in travelling - we adapt to it and still go out fires, or should I rather say winds, blazing! George and I took a photo with every wax model in that museum.
...from ogres to cricket legends - just about all the rich and famous people are there to take photos with YOU.
Put a few hours aside for the visit to Madame Tussaud's, if you are one of those people, we are, who would want to take a photo with everything, and taking into consideration the other tourists, leave about 3 hours for this expedition among the 'stars'. At the end of the museum you go through the souvenier shop before exiting - don't go crazy, it is a bit pricey, but when will you ever go there again, right? We had done a crystal with our faces imprinted inside (by lasre tech). Looks amazing and a great souvenier or even gift for loved ones. At MT you can even make a 'wax-hand' using your own hand as the mould - how cool?
If you are not faint-hearted then you must go to the dungeons. It is thrilling and the theatrics are believable. The dungeons are packed with the gory history of centuries ago of old Londontown. You can interact with the actors and in the end of your group tour you stand trial to be "hanged" for all your atrocious crimes...
tip: buy a combo ticket for both these attractions and SAVE
