Additional Information

This is the original Jack the Ripper tour in Aldgate East that’s been running every night since 1982. Seconds after we begin, you’ll find yourself delving into the brick-laid lanes and timeless streets that have remained mostly unchanged since Jack the Ripper lurked in their shadows. Our knowledgeable guides, Richard Jones, John Bennett, Angie Norman, Philip Hutchinson and Jeremy John, are renowned authorities on the subject, collectively authoring over ten highly-regarded books on the Jack The Ripper enigma. They deliver a comprehensive narration of the heinous acts that shocked the world in 1888 in a dramatic, engaging, and lively way that brings the narrative of the crimes into sharp focus. Right from the start, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a Victorian detective’s shoes, poring over the details, assessing the facts, discussing the offences, and ultimately drawing your own conclusions.

Highly recommend! Angie was great - Angie was phenomenal. She was so well informed and is a wonderful storyteller! We enjoyed how the tour was done in terms of being broken up by different locations with stories to accompany each.

Jeremy is an amazing guide - I really enjoyed the Jack the Ripper Tour with Jeremy John. He managed to take a very heavy and upsetting subject (the murder of 5 women) and made it humorous whilst also being respectful to the victims. He focused on the history of White Chapel with some of his own family history weaved in which really makes you appreciate that the area is living history and the victims themselves. He dispelled the myth that they were all prostitutes and opted to use the term "unfortunates" which is both more historically accurate and more respectful. He number of locals and tour guides that stopped to say hello to him just goes to show what a character and asset to the community he is. The job of a tour guide is to be one part information dispenser and one part entertainer. Jermey does both expertly.

Jeremy’s Jack The Ripper Tour - The tour was great and we loved our tour guide Jeremy. Plenty of info I hadn’t heard before and for a tour about a murderer, Jeremy made it more fun than it should be! I highly recommend it. He also recommended us a great pub which we visited after.
