Overview

The infamous Whitechapel Murderer known as Jack the Ripper continues to haunt, horrify, and hypnotise us over 135 years after the murders took place. Based on the latest academic consensus, meticulous research, and focusing on the facts as presented through the surviving official records of the Ripper inquests, this intimate tour, which is limited to just your booking, retraces the steps of Jack the Ripper through Whitechapel, Smithfield, and the City of London. As you follow in the footsteps of the infamous Jack the Ripper, this tour takes you in order through the five canonical murders, plus one of the suspected murders which, according to the latest forensic and policing techniques, looks more and more likely to be a murder committed by Jack the Ripper. Starting at Whitechapel Station and led by a passionate, highly knowledgeable guide, this tour is the best and most intimate way to discover the horrors, history, and herstory of the myth that Jack the Ripper has become.

What To Expect

1. Your first stop will be a short walk from Whitechapel Station, where the Ripper's first canonical murder occurred. Here, your guide will tell you all about the first official victim, Polly Nichols. What happened to this poor woman? How was she discovered? And why is she considered the first canonical victim? Your questions will all be answered by your guide. 10 minutes

2. Whitechapel Your second stop is outside the former Working Lads Institute, where inquests into the Ripper murders were held. Whilst here, you will discover how inquests during the Victorian period were held, how each of the inquests into the Ripper murders progressed, who was called as witnesses, and what there outcomes where. 10 minutes

3. 29 Hanbury Street, where the second victim Annie Chapman, was found. Annie's death started public and media panic, which placed increasing pressure on the local police to find the person that the London newspapers were calling 'The Whitechapel Murderer'! How did this panic in the press and with the public fuel the myth that was to become Jack the Ripper? Find out on this tour! 10 minutes

4. Your fourth stop on our Jack the Ripper tour is Henriques Street (formerly Berner Street), where the 3rd victim Liz Stride, was found dead. Liz was not mutilated after her murder, leading some to believe that she was not a 'true' victim of the Ripper. Why is there so much conjecture about who was murdered by Jack the Ripper? Find out on this tour. 10 minutes

5. The fifth stop is Mitre Square, the site of the murder of the fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes. The murder of Catherine Eddows and Liz Stride is referred to as the 'double event' the only time that Jack the Ripper killed two women in one night. It was this double event and several communications which were sent to the Central News Agency in London, which led to the naming of the Whitechapel Murderer as Jack The Ripper. How did the name change? Book our tour to find out more! 10 minutes

6. Our sixth stop following in the footsteps of Jack The Rupper is Goulson Street, where a vital clue in the investigation to one of the UK's most notorious serial killers was found. 10 minutes

7. The seventh stop on our tour is Gunthorp Street the site of an earlier possible murder. Here, your guide will explain how this murder may have been the Ripper's first murder, how modern policing techniques and forensic science has been applied to modern investigations into the Ripper Murders, and why we are still obsessed with these Victorian Murders. 10 minutes

8. Old Spitalfields Market The eighth stop is the site of the 5th and final canonical murder of Mary Kelly by Spitalfields Market. 10 minutes
