Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

For a standard visit focusing solely on the wax figures, the standalone entry ticket is the most cost-effective option. If you plan to explore other major sights like the London Eye, bundling them into a multi-attraction combo ticket offers significant savings. Visitors looking for a full-day experience can opt for themed packages that pair admission with guided city tours.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Mandatory Security Checks: All visitors, including those with Fast Track tickets, must pass through security arches and bag screening at the Marylebone Road entrance, which can cause significant queues during peak hours.
  • Strict Cashless Policy: The attraction is entirely cashless. Any on-site purchases, ticket upgrades, or cloakroom fees must be paid using a credit or debit card.
  • Luggage & Cloakroom Fees: Suitcases and large bags are prohibited inside the exhibit zones. You must pay an additional fee to store them in the cloakroom, though baby strollers can be stored for free (at your own risk).
  • Peak Pricing Fluctuations: Ticket prices are dynamic and increase significantly during weekends, summer holidays, and peak hours compared to weekday off-peak slots.
  • Late Arrival Delays: Entry is restricted to your booked 15-minute time slot. If you arrive late, you must wait for the next available capacity slot, which can cause long delays on busy days.
  • Chamber of Horrors Restrictions: The Chamber of Horrors is recommended for ages 16+ and is not advised for pregnant visitors or those with heart conditions. Skipping this zone does not qualify you for a partial refund.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance: To enter Madame Tussauds London, head to the designated entrance on Marylebone Road corresponding to your ticket: Standard pre-booked ticket holders must queue at Door 2 at their exact scheduled time slot (early arrival is not permitted). Fast Track ticket holders should proceed to the dedicated priority line (typically Doors 3 or 4) for expedited entry. If you hold an unredeemed voucher, you must first exchange it for a timed ticket at the Ticket Office (Door 1) before entering. Groups of 15 or more should use Door 5. Be prepared for mandatory security bag checks at all doors, which can cause brief delays even for priority guests.
  • Price: Official standard tickets start at £27 online (discounted to £23.63 during the summer VAT savings period from June 25 to September 1, 2026), while buying at the door costs £39. Children aged 2–15 start from £21 online, and infants under 2 are free but need a ticket. Partner prices may differ due to currency conversion, live demand, or because they bundle entry with tours, transport, or multi-attraction passes.
  • Discounts: Children under 2 enter free but still require a timed ticket, which can be added to your online basket or obtained from staff at the entrance. Visitors aged 2–15 require a child ticket and must be accompanied by an adult (18+). Anyone aged 16 or older is classed as an adult and may enter unaccompanied. Free carer tickets are available online but require presenting valid proof of disability (such as an Access Card, Blue/Orange badge, or DLA/PIP letter) upon arrival.
  • Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to book a specific time slot for Madame Tussauds London?

Yes, all visitors must book a specific 15-minute arrival time slot online to manage crowd flow. You can scan your mobile ticket directly from your smartphone at the entrance.

Can I cancel or reschedule my Madame Tussauds London tickets?

Tickets are generally non-refundable once booked. However, if you book directly, the official booking guarantee allows you to reschedule your date and time for free up to 1 hour before your slot, up to 3 times within 90 days.

What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?

If you miss your slot, speak to the staff at the entrance. They will try to fit you into the next available time slot, but this is subject to daily capacity and is not guaranteed during peak hours.

Are there luggage restrictions or a cloakroom at the venue?

Yes, large suitcases, folding bikes, and adult scooters are strictly prohibited and cannot be stored. Small bags are allowed inside, while coats, umbrellas, and standard bags can be stored in the cloakroom near the exit for a small fee, though pushchairs and buggies are stored for free.

How do free carer tickets and disabled access work?

Disabled visitors pay standard rates, but one essential carer aged 14 or older can enter for free. You must pre-book the free carer ticket online alongside your paid ticket and present valid proof of eligibility, such as a PIP/DLA letter, Blue Badge, or Access Card, at the entrance.

What are the main queues and bottlenecks to expect inside?

Even with a timed ticket, you must queue for mandatory security checks at the Marylebone Road entrance. Inside, the Spirit of London taxi ride and the Marvel Universe 4D cinema are the main bottlenecks where short additional lines frequently form.

Are tickets cheaper online, and can I pay with cash at the door?

Madame Tussauds London is a cashless venue; only card payments are accepted. Tickets purchased at the door are subject to availability and typically cost around £10 more per ticket than booking online in advance.
