Madame Tussauds
The world's most famous waxworks — selfies with royals, footballers and superheroes, plus a small Marvel and ride add-on.
The call
Skip it unless this is central to the trip.
Why
- 01
It's a hit of pure selfie fun if you're into celebrity spotting, and some figures are uncannily good.
Our read - 02
The honest catch: it's expensive, packed, and over once you've taken your photos — there's no real substance beyond the wax.
