Tour Overview:
Your journey begins at Aldgate Station, where your guide will transport you back to the grimy, gas-lit streets of Victorian London. Walk through the East End’s slum streets, where poverty, crime, and desperation created a world of vice and vulnerability.
Pass through the former red-light district, where many women, including Jack the Ripper’s victims, worked as prostitutes. Then, arrive at the murder site of Mary Ann Nichols, the Ripper’s first canonical victim. As you stand on the very spot where she was discovered, hear the gruesome details of her murder and how it signaled the start of a terrifying killing spree.
Continue through Whitechapel’s dark alleys, stopping at the site where Catherine Eddowes was brutally slain. Hear how a missing piece of her bloodstained dress led to one of the biggest mysteries of the case—and where it was later found.
Pass the historic Ten Bells Pub, once frequented by Jack the Ripper’s victims. Many believe some of them drank their last pint here before meeting their fate. The pub remains one of the most haunted places in London, with whispers of the past still lingering in its walls.
Your tour ends at Christ Church, Spitalfields, where both Jack the Ripper and his victims would have walked these very streets. With the case still unsolved, one question remains: Was Jack the Ripper a butcher, a doctor, a nobleman, or something even more sinister?
