Pre book tickets on the internet for first opening of the day
I pre-booked tickets on the internet and also got London Eye and London Dungeon included for discounted price. I booked for the first opening of the day (9.30am) and was one of the first ones in, which was good because there wasn't people in the way of all the models. I think they shoul display as many models as they can, whether they are out of date or not, seems to be not many on display. Made the mistake of going through the chamber of horrors, not for those easily scared, but if you don't, you don't get to see the death masks of executed royalty such as Marie Antoinette, and the guillotine blade used on her.

Fun but overrated
I didn't realize how popular the wax museum was. My mom said she was interested in visiting the museum so we went and waited in line for nearly 3 hours! I also remember the tickets being a bit on the steep side. (So definitely buy your tickets online or bundled with other attractions...anything to skip the general admission line!)
My favorite rooms were the sports celebrities/artists, as well as the foreign dignitaries room. They also had a very cheesy "haunted house" exhibit.
Overall it was ok, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

Interesting, but overpriced
I went to Madame Tussaud's on May 17 and found it fun and interesting. You can take pictures of many famous stars such as Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig as James Bond, and of course the Queen of England. Don't miss out on that. The Chamber of Horrors was a little creepy and I enjoyed the little ride in the taxi cab at the end. The only negative thing was that it was a little expensive, 25 pounds. If you get there at 9:00 in the morning just when it opens, there are no queues. Don't buy the guidebook though, it's disappointing.

Disappointing and over priced attraction in London
Good: Wonderful photo opportunites and fun being pictured with famous dignitaries. So camera a must. Definite highlight is cable car drive thru the history of London . BAD: After a wait to purchase tickets for way more than an hour (this attraction was not on the London Pass so try and pre book tickets somewhere if you can), I finally got in to the attraction which was then so packed with people that I could not get proper views of the wax figures or distinguish them from the masses. An obvious way was to spot a figure was to spy someone posing for a photograph and you could then distinguish a famous wax model. London is very busy with people but I found at this attraction tourists were 'Pushy and rude', much more than any others I had visited. Maybe I went at the wrong time of the year (June) of day (Saturday 11am). The attractions were good when you could get clear vision of them but I did not think I got value for money on the whole.

Worth a Visit but Massive Queues!
I visited this attraction yesterday and once we actually got into the exhibit it was definately worth a look. But deary me, we were queuing for 2 hours to get in!!
The enterance price of L25 per adult is pretty steep but luckily we had a 2 for 1 voucher which cut down on the admission price a lot. If we'd spent L50 to get in coupled with the 2 hour wait I think I'd be scoring the musuem even lower!!
The waxworks are, of course, high quality with lots of easily recognised stars of the big screen, music world, historical figures and world leaders. There is also a great Spirit of London ride.
The Scream exhibit was really spooky and I didn't really like it although my partner (predictably) loved it. I'd say this is one to avoid for children - if I'd gone in there when I was younger I'd have had nightmares.
Overall, definately worth a visit but try and get advance tickets to skip the queues!
