Jack the Ripper Walking Tour

Jack the Ripper Walking Tour – Overview

During this walking tour you will follow the shadowy trail left by Jack the Ripper, in the Victorian era, through East London’s Whitechapel coming across the places where the grisly murders took place.

Highlights 

Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer, mainly active in the poor areas of London, such as Whitechapel, in the 1800s. He was never captured and therefore is, and remains, one of the most infamous killers in the world.

The Walking Tour at Trader’s Gate before continuing down Aldgate High Street to Mitre Square – where the serial killer infamously claimed two unlucky victims and left their bodies in the street. Then stop at Goulston Street, where the police arguably found the most vital clue to solving the case of Jack the Ripper! You will then ramble down Commercial Street before arriving at notorious Hanbury Street, where the body of horrifically mutilated Annie Chapman was discovered.

So what are you waiting for? Follow the traces of Jack the Ripper and learn all about the killer! however, be careful, it might get spooky.
