Exploring the Original Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London
I visit the original Madame Tussauds in London. The museum's history dates back to the 18th century when Madame Marie Tussaud, a French artist, created her first wax figure in 1777. She later moved to London in 1802 and established her first permanent exhibition in the city in 1835. I really enjoyed this wax museum, and the interactive ride was the best part!

Loved how they had the wax figures out so the public can take pictures. They need a wax figure of you walking with the visitors holding your gear and stuff just like you are filming a live...that would be so 2023. ❤
Thats a great idea👍
Where else would they have the wax figures? Locked in a basement?
I was young when I saw the St. Louis one. I was completely wowed and told myself someday I would travel to work for her. Life happened. Now I am too old to visit so I am very grateful that you did this. My advice to people is never put off your dreams.
That’s some excellent advice
The should put name plaques by them, I don't recognise some of them!
Action Kid! Thanks so much for taking us along with your visit to Madame Trousaud's. That little car ride illustrating London history was especially impressive. They out "Disneyed" themselves! 😆
Thank you for the tour. It must be over 50 years since I went there and memory tells me it only featured standing figures back then. Times change. I believe the theatre where you couldn't film used to be the Planetarium and they've combined the two buildings.
Our man in London, good job. Great video to share with friends !
20:02 first one got shot Upper West Side NYC. W 72nd St - 8th Ave, if I remember correctly.
Excellent. Been several times and its fantastic
Glad you enjoy it! It’s an amazing museum for sure
Loved The Beatles crossing Abbey Rd ! 🐼
They were amazing!
I really enjoyed the entire tour of Madame Tussauds Thanks Action Kid 🎬 👋👍
No problem 👍
Wow this was fabulous , thank you so much , I also saw the one in NYC and this one seems more amazing 😊
Thank you Action kid ❤️
Hi there. When I was a kid growing up in London there used to also be the London Planetarium in the same building (hence the green domed roof with the golden planet on top of it).
The planetarium was awesome.
I am surprised that there’s a whole lot to see! It’s worth visiting! Thank you for sharing AK ！ Good Job
You’re welcome! I was surprised how interactive the wax museum really was
OMG MY JAW DROPPED AT THE HARRY STYLES POSTER AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, sorry I ADORE Harry and I'm his very first fan he ever has in 2008 when he started his high school band White Eskimo. I want to meet him so badly; I am sad that the One Direction wax figures were removed in 2022
I went there yesterday and did the sky walk on the spurs stadium aswell
I was in London in 2013 and visited Madame Tussauds. Thanks for the video. ❤
Thought they could have the names next to the waxworks, I didn't know most of them!
That was so impressive - thank you so much for taking us along. I went years ago to the one in LA, or maybe it was Las Vegas - anyway, not nearly as big or impressive - although all the wax figures really looked authentic. This one - wow - so fun. Was surprised to see all the steps to go up / down.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was such a fun experience
Get to it!
Amazing museum i visited 3times they changed a lot of things
Glad you enjoyed the experience.👍🏽 It appears to have a lot of empty space to walk through. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to the video, i was enticed by the 007 line up alone...🍻🇬🇧🍸🤞. Greetings from Shetland, Scotland again..🌞
Thanks 👍 I really enjoyed the 007 figures too!
James Bond....cinematic icon & British institution ,❤it. As a long term James Bond fan. I'm Liking the thumbnail to this video.
Classic stairway
I've been to the Madame Tussauds in Hollywood, so it's a treat to see the original location in London! 🤩 The wax figures are so life-like, and it's quite overwhelming to see all the sections. The taxi ride was so cool, and it felt like you were in an amusement park in that area!🚕 Thank you for sharing this enjoyable tour through Madame Tussauds, AK! 🤗
The little kid who said bye to R2 😭😂
Really? So cute! I’ll have to go back and watch.
Brilliant video! Thanks!😍🤩👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've been to other M. Tussaud Wax Museums, but this one was FULL of pleasant surprises! Thanks again for an interesting video!- GiGi Diana, Phila. PA
Utterly amazing! It must be 50 years since I last visited that exhibition, and all I remember is that it was just a good waxworks museum. But now it's a massive theme park! 😮😛. Those figures are so realistic. I felt a shiver each time one seemed to look directly at 'me'!!
"What an absolutely fascinating journey through the original Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London! 🕵♂✨ Your exploration captured the incredible artistry behind these lifelike wax figures. It's like getting up close and personal with history and pop culture icons.
i visited here back in 88 so good seeing it again they are awesome 😊thanks AK
Masame Tussaud’s museum looks great and those wax figurines are incredible realistics 😎I’m impressed 🙂Thank you for sharing this enjoyable experience A K🙂👍!!!
Thanks for watching! I really enjoyed my time inside Madame Tussauds.
Fun
Tussaud's featured public figures such as actors, politicians and the like when I visited in late 1982. After standing in line outside, the trip through didn't take long, and I was underwhelmed. There were no elaborate sets. There were no fictional characters, as I recall, and the figures were grouped according to their profession or activity. Some of the faces did not match their photos very well, and the complexions were all waxy-looking, so that leathery old politicians and Hollywood ingenues had the same skin texture. Today, I wonder how all the displays were shoe-horned into the space and how folks would escape if the place were on fire.
❤❤❤
I did go to MTs in the early 90s and have photos, but I cannot remember any of it. It's a complete blank though I vaguely remember the cab ride and seeing old London. It must have changed a lot!
Thanks AK!
Thanks/ awesome place😊
Much appreciated!
The Cockney Museum, it's worth a visit. A Charles Dickens epoch as well. 🤗🤗🇬🇧
Sounds awesome
Thank you A.K. 👍
Loved it thank you Kid!!
Thank you so much for this awesome video ActionKid👌👍
I was there in 07.2011. The main difference is the number of visitors. Then, there were hordes of tourists while today, it's an almost empty place. Thank you for your great trip report. BTW. Osmo Pocket 3 works excellently indoors.
Very cool 😎
super nice , i would love to go !
You should!
very nice vedio
Hello from Chicago
Sings telling you who the people are supposed to be would be nice. particularly with what seems to be British celebrities. So far the only one I recognized was the formerly named The Rock and I can never remember his new real or real stage name.
I noticed someone commented that there should be name plaques next to them - there were (like London’s blue plaques on buildings), it’s just that the filming didn’t pick them out.
Happy Thanksgiving day Action Kid. ❤
Cant figure out who most of the figures are but i enjoyed the tour. Thanks AK
Maravilhoso
Great stuff AK. It's changed since I was there in the early 80's 😃
Such a pretty place! I'm going to go to London in a few months and I wanted to know how is it. I heard that there was a waxwork of One Direction, but ut was removed for a while. Is it already there? I would like to know, because I'm a big fan. If not I will enjoy the waxwork of Harry Styles, but it would be really nice
The cinema was originally the Planetarium . Closed 2010 .
nice
Which city in London?
Ola fr Colorado AK
It would have been helpful if you would have mentioned the names of a lot of these - didn't recognize or went so fast . . .
Hello AK. I have a question ❓⁉️. Whichof the both cities -LOndon , or New York is more interesting for you ? Like atmosphere, people , social system (if you made your research on tat too), laws ...?? One time asked an English lady ,she told me for her, New York is "boring" , compared to London. I never been to U.S.A. ,can not have some issues . I am curious. Thank you . (Maybe you can move to U.K. ine day 🙃) all the Best 👍
I always thought it was pronounced Madame Two Swords. Am I wrong?
It’s my birthday 🎁
Happy birthday🎉🎂
Happy bday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 🥳 🎉

Why is there an advert literally every 4 minutes...
I would have been a great thumbnail if you took a selfie with Megan Markle and Harry.
It should be remembered that London doesn’t have a “downtown” as London is made up of lots of cities, towns, villages and even hamlets, some of which have existed since Roman times or since the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that predate the creation of the Kingdom of England in 927 and over the centuries have been incorporated legally, politically and geographically into London from their original surrounding counties as the boundaries of London have been moved further out from the original walled City of London of around 350 acres. Therefore each of them has a High Street (Main Street) at its centre from which spread out its own suburbs. Therefore since the last Act of Parliament come into force on 1st April 1965, London has consisted of the City of London (1.12 square miles) and the 32 London Boroughs (some 606 square miles) that make up London. Therefore London is about twice the size of New York City’s 5 boroughs but both have a similar population, which makes NYC have a higher population density. The town in south-east London were I was born was, before 1st April 1965, a part of the county of Kent and before 927 was a part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Kent. However from 1st April 1965 it became the capital town of the London Borough of Bromley, London’s largest borough at some 59 square miles. Most of the borough still feels like part of Kent as it had mostly villages and some hamlets plus lots of farmland and common land (most if its commons are owned and maintained by Bromley London Borough Council, but one of them is owned and maintained by the Corporation of the City of London, despite being some 12 miles from London Bridge).
I wish there would be BTS members too
Having been to London 5 times I'm so glad I missed this! What a dump and scary fire trap. I will say the figures, costumes, settings and sound effects at Warwick Castle were quite impressive when I was there.
Sorry not a fan. Been once decades ago and that was more than enough. Just think London has so much more to offer. No offence btw actionkid. Just this Londoners view.
your not pronouncing it properly apart from that a great video thanks
