Madame Tussaud's stock in trade is waxworks of the famous and infamous plus a dark ride, 'The Spirit of London', which provides a whistlestop tour of London's history. 'Premiere Night' is an area in which contemporary stars including Harrison Ford and Sean Connery mingle with legendary icons such as Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. Chamber Live is a live-action experience in which actors play The Man in the Mask, Hatchet Harry and other unpleasant characters on the run from a maximum-security prison for serial killers. It includes floor drops and sound, light and visual effects and is not suitable for under-12s or those of a nervous disposition. 'Aardman Presents the Wonderful World of Stars,' is a 20min film by Aardman Animations projected inside the building's domed ceiling.
