Did you know?

Many illusions here are cooked up with neuroscientists and perception experts, so every mind-bender is backed by real science about how your brain decides what’s real.

The museum dives into real math puzzles like the birthday paradox. It shows how in a group of only 23 people, chances are higher than expected that two share the same birthday.

Inspired by Yayoi Kusama, the Infinity Room surrounds visitors with mirrored reflections and incorporates London-specific design elements, creating an experience that connects global art influences with the city’s visual identity.

Since opening, it has quickly become one of London’s fastest-growing interactive museums, drawing more than 200,000 visitors in its very first year.

A tucked-away balcony inside the museum reveals Harrods in full view, creating a surprising photo spot for anyone wanting that perfect London selfie backdrop.

My visit with Headout today was truly special because everything felt smooth, well-organized, and thoughtfully planned. From the easy booking process to the seamless experience on arrival, it made the whole outing stress-free and enjoyable. What stood out the most was how convenient and time-saving it was, allowing me to focus entirely on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about logistics. It turned a simple visit into a memorable and delightful day.

Madame Tussauds was such a great experience and the wax figures are honestly impressive because they look so incredibly real. My absolute favorite part was the section dedicated to British serial killers, which is funny because I originally didn't even want to go inside. I was terrified that there would be some kind of jump scare or scary surprise waiting for me. However, a lovely member of the staff promised me that I had nothing to fear and he actually held my hand while he accompanied me through the whole exhibit. It was so kind of him and it turned the scariest part into the best part of the day. If you are a fan of superheroes, the Marvel area is also beautiful and definitely worth seeing. It is a fantastic place to visit and I highly recommend it.
