Marylebone and Regent's park

Madame Tassaud's

map symbol 28    

Baker Street

Madame Tassaud's (formerly Madame Tassaud's Wax Museum) appeals to many and repels others.  To some extent, the uniqueness of the attraction has been diluted by its syndication around the world.  However, if you are a fan, this is the original and worth seeing. Check their website for details on opening hours and booking online.

Other attractions that might be of Interest

221 B Baker Street    

Baker Street

Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective resided at 221b Baker Street. The address for many years was the home of the Abbey National Building Society, but when they moved, the mail addressed to 221b was delivered to the  Sherlock Holmes Museum , just a few doors away.  Housed in a Georgian town house, the museum is a must-see if you are a fan of Holmes and Watson.  By the way, there is now a statue to Holmes outside the Baker Street Underground Station. 

Regent's Park 

Baker Street, Regent's Park

A large and pleasant open space, Regent's Park includes the London Zoo , Queen Mary's Garden and the Regent's canal, which connects the Park to the landing at Little Italy by waterbus service.  In addition, you can take the waterbus from the landing at Little Italy to the Camden Locks and Markets.

Abbey Road 

St. John's Wood

If you are a Beatles' fan, you might want to take a short side trip up to St. John's Woods to see the Abbey Road Studios and the famous crosswalk that adorned the cover of the group's best selling album - Abbey Road. To be honest, it is all a little underwhelming, but that does not impact that fact that  this location is a major tourist attraction.  The studio is private and does not offer tours.  The famous "zebra" crosswalk, which is no longer in the original location, is close to the studio and crosses a busy street, so be careful if you want to get a picture of you  crossing the intersection. The Abbey Road Studios are at 3 Abbey Road, St John' Wood, London NW8 9AY.
