Whether you’re a die-hard music fan, sports nut, or just curious to see who’s got the best waxy grin in town, we’ve got your all-access pass for London’s most famous celebs.

  • Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie 
  • Ed Sheeran

The Royal Family: Posing with British Royalty 

No London adventure is complete without a royal encounter, and Madame Tussauds makes it easy—and fabulously photogenic. Here, you’ll find the full House of Windsor looking regal and ready for their close-up, from Queen Elizabeth II (dressed in sparkles, no less) to Prince William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan. It’s uncanny how lifelike these figures are, with gowns, uniforms, and every detail perfectly crafted. 

Why do we love this? The Royal Family exhibit gives everyone the chance to snap the ultimate “meet the royals” photo, minus any palace queues. The vibe feels celebratory and a bit cheeky—watch out for the well-dressed crowds jostling to pose with the monarch herself. We’ve seen everything here, from tourists practicing their curtsies to grooms-to-be getting a blessing from the Queen (well, almost). With flag-waving nostalgia, glitzy backdrops, and the chance to feel a touch like royalty yourself, this section offers a truly British moment you’ll be talking about long after your trip. 

Beyoncé: Queen Bey in All Her Glory 

She’s the pop icon who needs no introduction—Beyoncé’s figure captures all her fire, flair, and fabulousness. Dressed in an eye-catching outfit with that trademark hair flip, Beyoncé stands in a dedicated area where the atmosphere instantly feels stage-worthy. 

This spot is always buzzing, and it’s easy to see why. Snap a selfie with Queen Bey, try to match her sass, and soak up the fan energy bubbling around you. The details are spot-on: from her statement heels to her dazzling jewelry, every element screams star power. It’s just the place to relive those concert moments, channel your inner diva, or round up your friends for a quick group pose with royalty of a different kind. Beyoncé’s presence lifts the mood, sending everyone away a little more “bootylicious”—and with a seriously Instagrammable souvenir. 

David Beckham: A Superstar Both On and Off the Pitch

David and Victoria Beckham at Madame Tussauds London

Sports fans, rejoice: David Beckham is in the house, ready to smolder for your camera. The Beckham figure here immortalizes the football icon in one of his classic kits, with that signature side glance and effortless style.

Why is this a must-visit? Madame Tussauds makes it feel like you’re mingling with football royalty—the kind you can actually get close to. Fans often stop to check out the tattoo details, compare sneaker choices, and debate his best goals. Whether you’re Team Manchester United, LA Galaxy loyal, or just appreciate a sharp suit, Beckham’s waxwork offers the ultimate fanboy/fangirl moment. Plus, the banter between football friends makes this area lively and fun.

Taylor Swift: America’s Pop Sweetheart 

She writes the catchiest break-up songs and sells out stadiums–so of course, Taylor is here too. Madame Tussauds has nailed the details: her pose is pure “Fearless,” guitar slung across her shoulder, surrounded by lights worthy of a world tour. 

This is the spot for music fans to channel main-character energy—strike a pose in front of the shimmering set or grab a mock microphone for your own mini-performance. Taylor’s stage outfit nails her signature style, from sequin dress to those iconic boots. We love the playful energy as Swifties recreate song lyrics for the camera, plan tour setlists, or just soak up the pop star sparkle. First-timers are often surprised by how lifelike she looks, and if you’re a die-hard Swiftie, this is the photo op for you. 

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie: Hollywood’s Power Duo 

It’s hard to resist two A-list legends in one place, and the waxworks of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (at their most glamorous) always draw a crowd. Their figures hold court in a sleek Hollywood-themed area, ready for a scene-stealing moment with anyone who passes by. 

Here’s why it’s fun: True movie buffs love comparing red carpet looks, while romantic types pose between the two for their very own celebrity “love triangle” moment. The spot captures cinema sparkle and the jet-setting glamour of LA—all without the paparazzi pressure. There’s something for everyone: laughs for those trying to mirror Brad’s smolder, or admiring glances for Angelina’s poised movie star glare. It’s playful, glitzy, and always gets guests channeling their inner celebrity. 

Ed Sheeran: The Everyday Legend 

Londoners and visitors alike agree—Ed Sheeran’s waxwork is pure charm. Dressed in jeans and a checked shirt, clutching his signature guitar, the singer-songwriter exudes friendly “guy next door” vibes. 

The magic here is simple: Ed feels approachable, the kind of celeb who’d happily join your group selfie—or your next pub quiz team. Music fans often gather to debate favorite songs, recount gig memories, or just marvel at the uncanny resemblance. Ed’s spot feels chill and down-to-earth, balancing the glitz of the pop divas and Hollywood stars nearby. For a finger-on-the-pulse photo, this area is always a winner. 

The Marvel Super Heroes: Blockbuster Action, No CGI Required

Children with the Hulk at Madame Tussauds London

For anyone who’s ever dreamed of flying with Iron Man or busting baddies side by side with Spider-Man, Madame Tussauds’ Marvel area is a treat. These figures deliver next-level energy, surrounded by sets straight out of your favorite movies—think city skylines, dramatic lighting, and plenty of interactive touches.

Kids (and big kids) love the immersive feel—strike your best superhero pose with Black Panther, Hulk out next to Bruce Banner, or see if you’re worthy enough to lift Thor’s hammer. There’s even a 4D movie experience on hand, with seats that rumble, lights that flash, and effects that make every battle feel real. It’s not just photo ops; it’s pure action and excitement, making it a hit for families, Marvel fans, or anyone up for a bit of superhero fanfare.

Dua Lipa: Glamor, Groove, and Pure Pop Energy 

Dua Lipa brings serious style to Madame Tussauds. Her figure’s all about confidence and charisma—think jaw-dropping stage attire, killer shoes, and hair that could star in its own music video. 

Stepping into this part of the attraction, you feel the party vibe in full swing. Photographers line up to mimic Dua’s signature dance move, while music plays overhead for a mini dance break of your own. We love the fashion-forward energy and the way Dua’s waxwork echoes her live shows. If you’re a chart-topper fan or trend spotter, you’ll want this snap front and center on your camera roll. 

Harry Styles: Brit Pop Royalty 

From boy band days to boundary-pushing solo superstar, Harry Styles draws a faithful crowd at Madame Tussauds. Dressed to impress in a bold designer outfit—think statement prints and head-turning boots—Harry’s waxwork is set in a gleaming pop music zone. 

The fun here comes from how much everyone adores Harry. Expect clusters of fans, creative photo ideas (from album cover recreations to “meet-cute” moments), and lots of smiles. Fans love feeling part of the current pop scene, and even those who aren’t full-on Stylers can’t help but enjoy the infectious mood. Whether you go solo or with friends, Harry’s corner gives your Madame Tussauds visit a touch of British cool. 

Usain Bolt: Strike a Lightning Pose 

Ready, set, snap! Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man, brings pure adrenaline and playful energy to Madame Tussauds. His waxwork captures his legendary “lightning bolt” pose, making this one a favorite for sporty photo ops. Stand beside him and imagine you’re breaking Olympic records (or just racing your travel buddies for fun). 

What we love most is how everyone gets caught up in the action—sports enthusiasts, casual runners, and families alike. Kids love practicing their sprint starts or striking their own superhero stances, while adults get a kick out of comparing shoe size or reliving famous race moments. The tribute to Bolt is lively and dynamic, and it leaves you feeling just a little more motivated to explore the rest of London’s attractions at top speed. 

 

With every corner revealing new celebs—from British legends to global icons—Madame Tussauds London guarantees a star-studded experience that’s part photo shoot, part memory-maker, and 100% fun. Whether you channel your inner Beyoncé, pose royally with the Windsors, or high-five a hero, this is the place to create wild stories, post-worthy pictures, and a sprinkle of celebrity sparkle to your big London adventure.

London in June

June in London is known by its nine million residents for its blend of sunny skies, annual events and warm evenings outdoors. If you’re looking to get a sense of the British capital at its most animated, June is the month to visit. Not only do summer temperatures creep into every aspect of a visit to London during the month, but the city gets all dressed up in its finery for events of international significance – from the Wimbledon tennis championships to Trooping the Colour. Come with us, as we explore the very best of London in June. Soak up the June sun With the bright summer sun warming the streets of London from east to west and south to north, June is perhaps the perfect time to explore some of the city’s hidden green spaces. And that’s exactly what it’s possible to do during London’s Open Garden Squares Weekend at the start of the month. This very special weekend sees usually private spaces opening their gates to the public. Those taking part change from year to year, but have previously included City of London rooftops, a historic garden beside Shakespeare’s Globe accessed via London’s narrowest street and even the rarely-seen lawns of the Prime Minister’s office at 10 Downing Street. Situated among the ancient trees of a Royal Park, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre does nights at the theater like nowhere else in the capital. Its alfresco nature ensures every performance is unique, whilst the company’s artistes are top talents who regularly end up touring shows first-opened just a few hundred meters from the lion habitat of ZSL London Zoo. Pomp and pageantry The massed ranks of the British army put on one of their best performances of the year at Trooping the Colour. Marking the official birthday of the reigning monarch, this June event has taken place since 1908, after King Edward VII got tired of celebrating his natural birthday in the November chill. Dressed in their famous red frock coats and bearskin hats, over 1000 soldiers troop the color – their regimental flag – to the tune of around 400 musicians. It all takes place under the watchful eye of the monarch on Horse Guards Parade. But The Mall provides the best vantage point for the public to watch, since it has the added benefit of lining the route taken by various members of the royal family to and from Buckingham Palace by horse-drawn carriages. If sport is more your métier, head to London towards the end of June for the Wimbledon Championships. Probably the world’s most prestigious sporting trophy, tickets for the show courts are fiercely fought over. However, it’s still possible to take in the atmosphere and look out for the greatest players of the generation with a ground pass. The start of festival season Meanwhile, the London Festival of Architecture spans the entire length of June. The world’s biggest festival of its kind aims to reveal the stories behind some of the city’s best-known structures. Syon Park’s classic car show aims to fulfil a similar role for all things petrol-powered, whilst June is also the start of Pride month. Many of London’s nightspots in Soho and the West End put on special events to get the LGBT+ community in the spirit of the rainbow flag. The spectacle of the Royal Ascot five-day horse race meeting should be the only excuse you need to step aboard a Hop-on Hop-off open-topped bus in nearby Windsor. As well as admiring Europe’s longest-occupied castle, you can take in sights including Eton College and Holy Trinity Church. Observe the longest day of the year Summer nights in London develop an atmosphere all of their own, and this is only ever heightened in the case on June 22, the date of the summer solstice. Various one-off events take place on the longest day of the year, from sunrise yoga sessions to solstice parties at the capital’s top bars and clubs. It’s best to check local press closer to the time for details. It’s in June that London’s rooftop bars also come into their own, with many providing drinkers with spectacular panoramas across the skyline by both day and by night. Admire the historic landmarks which line the banks of the Thames with a city cruise river pass. Between them, the likes of the Tower of London, Houses of Parliament and London Bridge boast over a thousand years of heritage no visitor should miss. The Sunday nearest the solstice is usually the date set for Father’s Day. Those keen to celebrate everything their dad has done for them with a restaurant meal should book early. Restaurant tables get filled quickly with families looking to enjoy dedicated menus put in place just for the day. Experience London’s wildlife havens For a totally different way to see the capital, head west to the pools and ponds which form the London Wetland Centre. Created out of unwanted Victorian reservoirs in the year 2000, this magical space is now visited by some 180 different species of bird, as well as otters and innumerable species of insect. June in London is a good time to plan a visit to attractions with outdoor elements such as Chiswick House and Kitchen Garden too. Finished in 1729, the house is a celebrated example of neo-Palladian architecture. The surrounding grounds are one of the earliest examples of the English landscape style to be still in existence. Alternatively, head back to banks of the Thames and challenge yourself to find your way through the maze at Hampton Court Palace. Its yew tree hedging has been foxing residents and guests since it was first planted in the 1690s. Ways to save on attraction admission The sky is pretty much the limit when it comes to things to do in London in June. The generally fine weather means few of London’s attractions are off limits, although this can soon have a detrimental effect on your wallet. You can save on London attraction admission with Go City. How does it work? Simply purchase a package and start to save! Go to the visitor attractions you had always wanted to explore without losing the flexibility that’s an important part of any vacation!
