Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum (London, England)

Matt sends the following recommendation: “The Chamber of Horrors is fab. There are waxworks of people being tortured etc. with lots of informative notes to accompany the figures. Did you know the Garrotte was the method used for Death Sentences in Spain? Gruesome. I thought the Garrotte simply strangled the victim but no, it’s got a spike in the front which slowly penetrates the victim’s windpipe, then their spinal cord. Only then do they choke. Oh, and it was last used in Spain in 1974! Anyway, there’s a really fun bit which only lasts about 3 minutes but you walk through a dungeon/asylum which is dimly lit and the lunatics (actors, not waxworks) creep up on you. It’s quite spooky, it makes you jump a lot, but god, what a laugh!”

Our morbid cohort Alf also went to the museum and took some pics:
