Americans in London can celebrate a star-spangled Thanksgiving this year with a special 2-for-1 offer at Madame Tussauds during Thanksgiving week*. It's easy as pumpkin pie. All American guests have to do is produce a valid US passport or US driving license, purchase an adult ticket and they will get another ticket absolutely free. That's two tickets for just £30.

Once inside, a world of famous fun awaits. From standing shoulder-to-shoulder with President Obama in a recreation of the legendary Oval office, to walking the red carpet with Oscar-winning actors, cosying up to the loveable ogre Shrek, taking a taxi ride through the capital's history on the Spirit of London ride or unleashing your inner hero in the amazing Marvel Super Heroes 4D experience, there's something to put a smile on everyone's face.

*Offer is valid only on production of a valid US passport or US driving license on Monday 24 to Friday 28 November, 2014 inclusive; every full paying adult will receive one free ticket (adult or child).
