Many big cities have some sort of wax museum, but Madame Tussaud's is the mother of them all. It's definitely a popular attraction - the queues, especially on the weekends, can be horrendous. You can, however, pre-book a ticket online and walk past those waiting in line, if you wish.
Madame Tussaud's has worked hard over the years to build its reputation, and it has achieve a semi-official status among wax figure museums. Also on the site is the planetarium, which is much like all other planetariums, but probably bigger.
Madame Tussauds is located on Marylebone Road, approximately 100 yards from Baker Street tube, and it's also close to Sherlock Holmes' fictional residence which maintains a small 'Museum'.
If you feel fatigued after visiting Madame Tussaud's, you can go on a quick walk 400 yards north to Regent's Park and beyond to Primrose Hill, where you'll find a great view over London. On the weekend it's also a quick and easy walk right through to Camden Market.
