- The building that once housed the London Planetarium is in Marylebone Road, London. It is adjacent to Madame Tussauds and is owned by the same company. Opened in 1958 on the site of an old cinema that was destroyed in the Second World War, the planetarium seated an audience of around 330 beneath a horizontal dome approximately 18 m in diameter. For its first five decades of operation, an opto-mechanical star projector offered the audience a show based on a view of the night sky as seen from earth. Between 1977 and 1990, evening laser performances called 'Laserium' were held. In 1995, one of the world's first digital planetarium systems, Digistar II was installed in a £4.5 million redevelopment, allowing monochromatic 3D journeys through space and many other kinds of show to be presented. The planetarium was used to teach students from University College London's astronomy department the complexity of the Celestial coordinate system, allowing for practical lectures delivered by a unison of planetarium and UCL staff. In 2004, the Planetarium was upgraded to a full-colour Digistar 3 system that allows both pre-rendered and real-time shows to transport the audience in an immersive fulldome video environment to distant realms of time and space. In January 2006, the London Planetarium had been renamed the Auditorium, and Madame Tussauds announced that in July 2006 the Auditorium would open with a show by Aardman Animations about celebrities. To say 'farewell' to the planetarium, Madame Tussauds allowed free entry to the show in its penultimate, week (24–30 April 2006). The London Planetarium no longer exists and it is no longer possible to visit it as a separate attraction. The web site is redirected to Madame Tussauds and here is a statement from their web site: "In 2006 the Planetarium was rebranded and renamed the Star Dome. The Star Dome is part of the Madame Tussauds attraction and is included in the ticket price. Please note that we no longer show astronomy-based shows"

- ロンドン・プラネタリウム(London Planetarium)は、イギリス・ロンドンの中心の北メリルボン・ロードに存在するプラネタリウム。 マダム・タッソー蝋人形館の隣りにあり、同じ会社によって運営されている。 1950年代に建造され、330席、ドームの直径は18メートルにも及ぶ。1990年代には世界に先駆けてデジタル・システムのデジスターが導入され、モノクロ三次元の解説が可能となった。 2004年にはさらにフルカラーのシステムであるデジスター3に更新されている。1998年には国際プラネタリウム協会(IPS)の会議が開催されるなど、名門プラネタリウムとして知られていたが、客数の減少を受けて経営会社は名称をオーディトリウム (Auditorium) に変更し、アードマン・アニメーションズによるアニメ劇場館として再建すると発表している。
