Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour (12 Max)
Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour (12 Max)
Max group size 12 so you will not be following 35 or 40 people. We start at Whitechapel Underground Station because that's where Jack the Ripper started. With the help of the FBI Special Agent John Douglas's 1988 profile of Jack the Ripper and Scotland Yard's 2008 geographical profile you will explore Jack the Ripper's territory from his first murder in Buck's Row to his last in Dorset Street.
You will discover the victims story. Who they were. Why they were targeted.

A curated journey through the experience
Whitechapel Road
We start in Whitechapel Road opposite the London Hospital where Emma Elizabeth Smith the first victim of the Whitechapel Murders died after she was brutally attacked on April 3rd 1888.
10 minutesWhitechapel
We will visit Buck's Row, Whitechapel for a crime scene investigation of when, where and how Jack the Ripper committed his first murder. And learn about Polly Nichols and just how she became Jack the Ripper's first victim. And right here discover our first suspect.
20 minutesBrick Lane
Brick Lane is of course the curry capital of Great Britain but this is also the eastern boundary of where all five victims lived at the the time of the murders. Thrawl Street which ran from Brick Lane to Commercial Street where Polly Nichols stayed at Wilmott's Lodging House. And Flower and Dean Street where the third and fourth victims lived and also where Scotland Yard believe Jack the Ripper was living. And a stone's throw from Brick Lane is where Annie Chapman, the second victim, was found murdered. More CSI and a second suspect who fits both a Scotland Yard geographical profile and also a profile created by the FBI.
20 minutesChrist Church Spitalfields
The magnificent example of Nicholas Hawksmoor's work. Christchurch Spitalfields which stands right opposite the famous, or should that be infamous, Ten Bells Pub. A pub that gets its name from the church that stands across the road from it. A pub that the victims drank in.
15 minutesOld Spitalfields Market
Where the American writer, Jack London, witnessed some of the appalling examples of abject poverty common in Victorian London. Old Spitalfields Market a centre of the community for centuries.
15 minutesSpitalfields
This is where the worst street in London stood. And where the second victim, Annie Chapman was living up to the night she was murdered. It's also where Mary Kelly lived and was murdered. She was a very different kind of victim and she brings with her a third convincing suspect.
