Madame Tussauds Wax Museum

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is located near Baker Street Underground Station, and it is the largest tourist attraction that London offers. Madame Tussauds first came to London in 1802.

Then she brought with her the heads of executed French aristocrats, which were carved out of wax. Since then, crowds of tourists have come to London to stare at these wax sculptures. Their exhibition is divided into several parts, where you can see the figures of famous, as well as notorious people.

Among the large number of figures there are wax figures of presidents and kings, TV stars and movie actors. All figures are presented in full height.

Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum, located in London, is located in a Victorian mansion, which is located in the South Kensington area. There are many interesting exhibits from such fields as: insectology, mineralogy, botany, zoology and paleontology.

There are more than seventy million exhibits here, but the huge skeleton of a Diplodocus deserves special recognition, as well as the trunk of a Sequoia, whose diameter is six meters.

Battersea Power Station

Battersea Power Station, which is located on the south Bank of the Thames, is one of the largest brick buildings in Europe, as it is up to 170 meters long and 160 meters wide, its four pipes are 103 meters long.

The author is Sir Gilles Gilbert, the same one who also designed the red telephone booths, which are very characteristic of London. Very often these booths flash in many famous productions of films, such as “Sabotage” directed by Alfred Hitchcock or the English TV series “Doctor Who”. Currently, after fifty years of its operation, it has been closed and elevated to the rank of the national heritage of Great Britain.
