I'm a colouring artist at Madame Tussauds London
I basically come into work and make sure that all the figures are looking amazing
I paint figures, I do some touch ups in the morning and actually look great
my definite favorite thing about Madame Tussauds London
is the history and in fact Madame Tussauds herself.
She came over from France during the French Revolution and
she set up her original site here on Baker Street and we moved here just after she died.
We've been here ever since. And we've survived a fire in the 1920s, bombing during World War Two,
and we're still here I think it's at the amazing.
The three things I would say about Madame Tussauds London are
the hairs at the figures are inserted
one by one individually. The entire head.
We still are using some of the same techniques that Madame Tussaud herself used
all those years ago. It's it's very historical.
It's interactive. A lot of people don't realize that.
You can go and get up close and personal. You can touch them, you can hug them.
You can do all these things with the figures.
One of our most recent and most popular attractions ever
I would say is the new One Direction boys.
People actually get emotional when they see them there. iIt's an amazing response.
The Queen is another really amazing figure and attraction.
Over her reign, the last 60 years, we've had 23 figures of her made.
And always have worked very closely with the palace.
We have a great relationship there.
My favorite part of London, the most inspiring part for me is Portabello Road.
I absolutely love it. I think it's so creative.
It's all sorts of musicians and artists and characters.
You get a lot of the good old London characters in that area.
The one thing I can see in London time and time again still be absolutely amazed by
is the view of London from the bridges over the Thames
I think it's absolutely amazing, especially at sunset or sunrise.
Every time it's always, it's like wow, I live here!
