It is normally considered close to mandatory for all the London goers to pay a visit to Madame Tussauds Museum to explore the statue making skills of experts who have massive contribution in giving all the popular celebrities or politicians a statue for their fans to cherish. Naturally I had never such a museum in my life and thus thought to give it a chance.
Thank goodness we booked online tickets!
I am really happy that I and my friend were wise enough to book advance tickets online as this is the cheapest option. Additionally you get a discount if you book to see more than one tourist attraction in London at the same time or day. Another benefit of booking online is that you get to choose your preferred time slot of going inside the museum; which is great for you if you are a tourist with time constraints. At our booked time, we reached the museum and our entry was really smooth because of already booked tickets online.
The Museum and the Statues:

The Museum looks really pretty and surprisingly small from outside but when you enter inside you realize that there are a number of things here to explore. After getting your tickets checked, we were asked to move up the stairs and enter into the hall with the magnificent wax statues. Starting from Hollywood celebrities as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Benedict Cumberbatch; all looked close to real.

As you move to other halls, you get to know further famous figures; Michael Jackson, Beyoncé and even the great footballer Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. There are statues for famous politicians from around the world in addition to statues of Royal British Family. It is super cool to have pictures with your favorite statues but you might have to wait because some figures as that of Michael Jackson are always flooded with people.
Fun Ride through British History:
And last but certainly not the least a ride on a train which passes through many hidden areas of the museum and gives you a picture of the British History in an absolutely entertaining way. The train goes up and down and you constantly enjoy the display of moving statues telling you a story about British important events in the past. You even get your pictures clicked at the end of the ride, which you can collect by paying some amount.
Additionally there are many souvenirs to buy in the museum and there are separate sections of statues for famous movies such as Start Wars which you can explore if you are a fan of the movie. In conclusion, it is definitely recommended from my side and I hope you will enjoy this experience too.
Thank you for reading again.
