The grand white dome stands at an incredible 111 metres tall, making it one of the largest in the world; and the interior galleries and chapel are truly stunning.
Climb the stairs to the ‘Golden Gallery’ for one of the most unique views of central London and experience the wonder of the ‘Whispering Gallery’.
Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds began with a young woman being trained to make death masks of those beheaded during the French Revolution, and has now led to one of the biggest franchises on the planet with a location on almost every continent.
Madame Tussauds is a legendary place where you can get up close and personal with the scarily lifelike waxwork forms of celebrities and public figures. Snap a selfie with the royals and chill with your favourite actor!
