London

Your expert guide will share the history of the "East End" of London, and how this once very deprived area is now going through huge regeneration.

The tour of this area will cover key locations relating to the Jack The Ripper Murders, and will take you through a detailed account of the case and those involved.

1 hour

Spitalfields Market E1

65 Brushfield Street, London, E1 6AA

Now a very trendy and creative area, Spitalfields in 1888 was a very different place. Even the Police feared going in after dark, and during the Autumn of 1888 Jack the Ripper chose this area as one of his main stalking grounds.
You will visit surviving buildings, murder sites and hear the witness testimonies from time.

Perhaps these details will help you form your own opinion on the worlds most famous unsolved crime?

1 hour

Fournier Street

Fournier Street, London, E1 6QE

Once home of the Huguenot Silkweavers that fled persecution in France, this area became full of Doss Houses by 1888.
One of the most famous Pubs in the area is The Ten Bells. All of Jack the Rippers victims were known to frequent the Pub. The interior is largely the same as it was back then.

The youngest of Jack the Rippers victims Mary Kelly is particularly linked with the pub, as her lodgings were just across the street.

20 minutes

Mitre Street

Mitre St, London EC3A, UK

Just off Mitre Street is Mitre Square.
It was in this pitch black, cobbled square that Jack the Ripper managed to savagely kill and mutilate Catherine Eddowes. How he managed that in the darkness in less than 15 minutes still causes huge amounts of debate among Ripperologists.

15 minutes

Goulston Street

Goulston St, London E1, UK

Jack the Ripper only left a small amount of physical clues behind. The most famous, and the most debated is the "Goulston Street Graffito"
A piece of bloodstained apron from Catherine Eddowes was found in a doorway on Goulston Street. Above it scrawled in Chalk on the wall was perhaps some of Jack the Rippers handwriting. Lets discuss the facts and you decide!
