Overview

Explore the dark past of London's East End on a unique private tour led by a professional guide and 'Ripperologist.'

Travel in an iconic London taxi, guided by an expert cabbie with deep knowledge of Jack the Ripper and his 1888 murders in Whitechapel.

Visit crime sites, hear chilling stories of the victims, and walk through historic backstreets. Stop by notorious pubs like the Ten Bells, where the victims were last seen, and visit murder locations including Buck's Row and Mitre Square.

Alongside tales of Jack the Ripper, learn about other infamous figures like the Kray Twins and Sweeney Todd, while passing landmarks such as Tower Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London.
