How long are the lines at Madame Tussauds London?
On busy days, the queue outside on Marylebone Road can be long, even for people with tickets, and the first rooms (with the celebrity figures) get crowded. Fast Track tickets use a separate, shorter line. On quiet weekday mornings, you'll usually walk in quickly with a standard ticket.
