The place may be cheesy but-----! Fas Track the way to go--bought tickets on line--no waiting--special entrance door. Lots of kids means you won't be able to get your picture with current idols. Line for Johnny Depp picture was too daunting for me. The line for a picture with "The Royals" moved quite rapidly so I got my picture and... More

Our first attempt to visit the museum was on a Friday morning, the queue was so long that they had a sign advising the visitors that it would take around 1.5 hours so we left. There were a lot of children due to school trips organized so it was the best thing to do. We tried again the next Monday.... More

We loved this! We came here for a something different besides ABC (another bloody castle). Can only see so many historical places, especially with a child. The line was long, but moved pretty quick. We bought the tickets on-line as a combo with the London Eye. I came here 25 yrs ago, and it has certainly changed and expanded-wow! We... More

My first attempt to visit the museum was on a Tues afternoon, the queue was so long that the person-in-charge told us that it would take more than an hour before we could enter. So we decided to try again on the next day, bought the tickets online and managed to get in via the VIP lane. The museum was... More

I bought an advanced booking ticket for this attraction. But seems like the advanced booking ticket was useless even the entrance time was stated on the ticket. I don't know what's the point of having advanced booking ticket. I went there on Sunday. I had waited for about an hour just to get to the entrance door. All the visitors... More

The wax statues are really perfect! Not only actors and singers, but politicians, Royal Family...and I guess the next was statue will be Kate Middleton. After the museum, go to the 5D movie with the story about London. Really good! More
