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.
