Highlights

Itinerary:

Gunthorpe Street - Scene of murder Martha Tabram

The scene many experts claim to be the first Jack the Ripper murder. This cobbled stone lane way remains a great starting point in the tour, as you can instantly feel the sense of a bygone era, of gaslit streets, dark corners and quiet footsteps in the night, as the ripper lay in wait for his victims.

Frying Pan pub - The death of Mary Ann Nichols

One of the last sightings of victim Mary Ann Nichols before her mutilated body was discovered in Bucks Row on the night of 31st August, 1888. This building, and its surrounding area, provide a great insight into the social living conditions and the everyday fight for survival in London’s East End.

Hanbury Street - Scene of the Annie Chapman murder

The body of Annie Chapman was discovered here in the early hours of 8th September 1888, her throat cut across, her body horribly mutilated. What clues did the killer leave?

The Ripper Letters

See the emergence of Jack the ripper in a series of penned letters, sent to the central news agency during the “Autumn of Terror” They were written in blood red ink and sent with half a human kidney.

The Death of Elizabeth Stride

Elizabeth Stride’s, or Long Liz, body was found in Dutfield’s yard off Berner street in the early hours of 30th September 1888. Her death was only the first in a night that would forever become known as the “double event”.

Mitre Square - Scene of the Catherine Eddowes murder

The 30th September 1888 became known as the “double event” when the Ripper killed twice in one night. You’ll visit the original cobble-stoned square, investigate the evidence and find out how the ripper evaded capture.

Goulston Street - Scene of perhaps the most vital clue in the ripper case

The night of the double murder left perhaps one of the most important clues in the entire case. What was it? Does it help solve the mystery?

Dorset Street - Scene of the Mary Kelly murder

The Ripper’s final victim was found in her small room at 13 Millers Court on 9th Nov 1888 and was the most savagely mutilated victim of them all. You’ll visit the murder sight and recreate the final moments of the ripper’s reign of terror. Over a century later, the police photo is still very disturbing.

Come learn the true story of the victims of Jack the Ripper - Alan was a great tour guide. Very informative. Warned us at the beginning that some of the graphics would be very disturbing. Continue to reassert that the tour is about the women not about the man. Answered everyone’s questions. Was patient with everyone. Very friendly and personable. Will take again when I come back to London.

A great evening outing - Our guide, Mr. André Price, our guide, was very entertaining and certainly knows the subject of the tour. He lives in the area and is familiar with its history beyond just the Jack the Ripper time. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
