Madame Tussauds London is the wax museum on Marylebone Road, a short walk from Baker Street Underground station. A visit takes about one and a half to two hours and is entirely indoors, which makes it a reliable rainy-day plan. Prices change by date and are lower online than on the day; booking a timed slot in advance is strongly recommended. Children under 2 go free but still need a ticket.
There are no height requirements, but under-16s must be with an adult aged 18 or over. One area to think about with younger children: the Chamber of Horrors can frighten small kids, so decide in advance whether to skip it.
Strollers cannot go inside; they are stored free in the cloakroom, and baby carriers can be borrowed against a deposit. There is baby changing on several floors and a Changing Places toilet by the ticket office. You can bring your own food and drink, as long as it is not hot, strong-smelling or alcoholic, and there are cafés inside. The museum is cashless and closed on 25 December.
