Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Expert Ripperologist

The guide is an expert Ripperologist conducting these tours for 30 years dressed in period costume.

The introduction takes place outside St Botolph's Church known as the Prostitutes Church because girls used to solicit on the island where it stood.

Moving round to the square beside the church. You then have a description of what life was like in the poverty stricken overcrowded of Whitechapel in 1888. The squalor, crime and degradation of the people living on the breadline.

Mitre Sq/St just inside the City boundary is the stop about Elizabeth Stride (Long Liz) the 1st victim killed by Jack on the night of the double event. Also, we will move a few yards to talk about the death of Catherine Eddowes killed only 45mins later right here!

Now called Middlesex St this is the boundary between the City of London and the Metropolitan area an important distinction as there were separate police forces for these areas.

We proceed to the doorway where the only clue was found on the same route that the police took that night hot on the trail of Jack the Ripper

We view Gunthorpe St from Wentworth St looking towards the spot where Martha Tabram was found murdered on 7th Aug 1888 in George Yard Buildings she is now thought to be the most likely 1st victim of Jack the Ripper

We continue to Brick Lane and stop opposite the Frying Pan Pub on corner of Thrawl St where Mary Ann Nichols had her last drink before staggering down Whitechapel Rd to be murdered by Jack in Bucks Row behind Whitechapel Station

We continue up Brick Lane to turn left into Hanbury Street where Annie Chapman was murdered in the back yard of 29 Hanbury St

We turn into Wilkes St, a street untouched by time sine the 1800's and make our way to Puma Court where you will hear about the Dear Boss letter

We stop opposite the Ten Bells Mary Kelly's favourite pub and also view Christchurch Graveyard known as Itchy Park, where the homeless would sleep in the daytime

Opposite the market is the London Fruit & Wool Exchange we stop in the entrance for the letter sent to George Lusk head of the Whitechapel Vigilance Group

In the square behind the London Fruit & Wool Exchange we end our tour with the murder of Mary Kelly, Jack's last victim killed on 9th Nov 1888. from here it is a 5 min walk to Liverpool St Station where there is a choice of tube train lines
