Based on Marylebone Road since 1884 and with roots dating back to the Paris of 1770 it has a fascinating and somewhat morbid history. Madame Tussaud began her career in the 18th century when she created death masks for prisoners about to be executed, this progressed into figures of well known people. Present day it houses a large collection of frequently updated figures from the showbiz world and history.
