Overview

Now using a radio transmitter and receiver so you won’t miss any of this amazing story. Numbers are strictly limited so you will not be following 35 or 40 people. We start the adventure at Whitechapel Station because that's where Jack the Ripper started. With the help of the FBI Special Agent John Douglas's 1988 profile of Jack the Ripper and Scotland Yard's 2008 geographical profile you will explore the Jack the Ripper mystery from his first unsolved murder in Buck's Row to his last in Dorset Street. You will discover the victims' story. Who they were. Why they were targeted. How they were killed so swiftly and silently. It's a truly fascinating story that goes beyond the cliche of the toff in his top hat and opera cape seeking his next victim among the raddled fourpenny whores of Whitechapel. Blanketed by fog, London was 'The Big Smoke' home to a silent and invisible serial killer we call Jack the Ripper. Join me.

Itinerary

  • Whitechapel Road

    We start in Whitechapel Road opposite the London Hospital where Emma Elizabeth Smith the first victim of the Whitechapel Murders died after she was brutally attacked on April 3rd 1888.

    10 minutes

  • Whitechapel

    We will visit Buck's Row, Whitechapel for a crime scene investigation of when, where and how Jack the Ripper committed his first murder. And learn about Polly Nichols and just how she became Jack the Ripper's first victim. And right here discover our first suspect.

    20 minutes

  • N/A

    Brick Lane is of course the curry capital of Great Britain but this is also the eastern boundary of where all five victims lived at the the time of the murders. Thrawl Street which ran from Brick Lane to Commercial Street where Polly Nichols stayed at Wilmott's Lodging House. And Flower and Dean Street where the third and fourth victims lived and also where Scotland Yard believe Jack the Ripper was living. And a stone's throw from Brick Lane is where Annie Chapman, the second victim, was found murdered. More CSI and a second suspect who fits both a Scotland Yard geographical profile and also a profile created by the FBI.

    20 minutes

  • Christ Church Spitalfields

    The magnificent example of Nicholas Hawksmoor's work. Christchurch Spitalfields which stands right opposite the famous, or should that be infamous, Ten Bells Pub. A pub that gets its name from the church that stands across the road from it. A pub that the victims drank in.

    15 minutes

  • Old Spitalfields Market

    Where the American writer, Jack London, witnessed some of the appalling examples of abject poverty common in Victorian London. Old Spitalfields Market a centre of the community for centuries.

    15 minutes

  • Spitalfields

    This is where the worst street in London stood. And where the second victim, Annie Chapman was living up to the night she was murdered. It's also where Mary Kelly lived and was murdered. She was a very different kind of victim and she brings with her a third convincing suspect.

Amazing Intelligent Tour - Highly Recommend!

Published on Oct, 2024

I recently took a Jack the Ripper tour in London with my teenage daughter, guided by Richard, and it was fantastic. We stayed in Whitechapel for a week, so we decided to give it a try since this is right in the area, and it exceeded all our expectations! Especially for my daughter, as a teen, she is hard to convince. Richard brought the story to life with a deep dive into the socio-economic conditions of the East End during that era. He did more than just tell us about Jack the Ripper's sensational crimes (and those were covered fantastically well as well); he painted a very vivid picture of what Whitechapel looked like at the time, how the people lived, and the struggles they faced, all backed up by historical photos. Richard's approach was both intelligent and engaging, which made the tour not only informative but also incredibly immersive. His narrative style, subtle British humor and articulate speech made the information very easy to absorb and incredibly enjoyable. The earphones Richard provided were a great touch, ensuring we could hear everything perfectly. The group size was perfect. Instructions were very well provided about the meeting place and Richard kept in touch prior and after the tour sending some additional information and content. The tour was a highlight of our London trip, and Richard's storytelling was a big part of that. I'd definitely go back for another one of his tours, maybe even for this one again! So well done! Very professional and passionate. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history delivered in a compelling intelligent way. Anna and Sasha

Jack the Ripper Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

What a fun tour! As a history lover I really, really enjoyed learning about life in Whitechapel in the late 1800s, and learning about the Jack the Ripper story from the perspective of the poor souls who experienced it, rather than the cartoonish story we normally hear. Our tour guide Richard was a lot of fun and really knowledgeable. If you are looking for a regular old ghost tour I don't know if this is for you, but I consider this so much better.
