This private walking tour will transport you back to the dark and chilling world of the Whitechapel Murders in East London. Follow in the footsteps of the notorious and never identified Jack the Ripper.
During the autumn of 1888, Jack the Ripper murdered, at least, five women with several other horrendous killings before and afterwards that may or may not have been carried out at the hands of the man voted The Worst Briton of All Time.
Explore the old streets of Whitechapel on this private 2.5 hour day-time tour (so you can actually see everything properly) and learn what life was like for the people who lived here.
We've had everyone from school-children to corporate bankers on this tour as well those who just want to see a different side of London. With the seal of approval of homicide detectives from New York, London, Melbourne and many other places and even enjoyed by some of the team behind the BBC show 'Ripper Street'.

What To Expect
East End
We will explore the streets of Whitechapel, Spitalfields and Aldgate and follow in the footsteps of Jack The Ripper as we visit the locations of his murders and those strongly linked with him.
Where the first victim in the Whitechapel Murders died and where an investigation into a body part revealed terrible findings. Nearby we will see where the inquests into several of the murders took place. The Elephant Man also lived here during these years and 80 years later the streets were the home to the legendary gangsters, The Krays.
We will follow in the footsteps of Martha Tabram down this eerie cobbled lane. Sadly Martha never made it to the end of the street, hopefully we will & round the corner we will see where Emma Smith was fatally attacked,
Dorset street itself isn't exactly here any more but we will visit the site of the murder of Mary Kelly and learn of its greater importance both in the Jack The Ripper killings and its wider legacy for police around the world.
See the church that played a pivotal role in the lives of the people in 19th Century Whitechapel and learn of the terrible poverty that was all around.
We will finish off just round the corner from our oldest Synagogue in Mitre Square, the only place where you can be certain you are standing exactly where Jack stood when he murdered

We have earmarked this tour as especially safe during the Coronavirus outbreak due to generally quiet places that we visit where social distancing is generally not a problem. All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide. To make it easier and safer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point. This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour. Your guide will also have a mask with them.
