Description

Walk through the dark streets of Victorian London on this Free Jack the Ripper Walking Tour, exploring one of history’s most infamous unsolved murder cases.

In the autumn of 1888, Whitechapel became the centre of worldwide attention when a mysterious killer murdered five women and vanished without ever being identified. On this guided walking tour, we delve into the true story, separating fact from fiction while placing the crimes in their historical and social context.

Led by an experienced local guide, you’ll examine the key events of the case, learn about the most famous suspects, and discover how poverty, policing, and life in the East End shaped the investigation. Crucially, this tour also tells the human stories of the victims, offering insight into their lives beyond the headlines.

Lasting approximately two hours, the tour finishes in Spitalfields Market. This experience is ideal for visitors interested in London history, true crime, and Victorian-era mysteries.

Groups larger than six people or educational groups must contact us directly to arrange a private tour, as they cannot join the free Jack the Ripper tour.

What a tour

Not quite sure what I can say about Ash, what an amazing tour guide. Interesting, insightful, engaging, funny but first and foremost, respectful. The time, care and concern given not only for the story but detailing how London was at the time and the stories of the victims was astounding. I cannot recommend this enough!

Tina Rath · October 2026

Excellent Tour

Jamie took us out on a very wet evening at the end of October but the rain didn’t dampen his spirits! We loved the fact that the emphasis was on the women who were not just names but people and he really got that in perspective .
