Jack The Ripper Walking Tour
What your day looks like
On this 2 hour Jack the Ripper Tour, you will get to experience how an Autumn of Terror in 1888 can still send a shiver down your spine to this very day. The discovery of a body on 31 August 1888 in London’s East End set in motion one of the most famous manhunts in criminal history. For over 120 years, Ripperologists and amateur sleuths have been trying (and failing) to discover the identity of the man known as Jack the Ripper! Throughout the Jack the Ripper Tour, you will explore the historical background of the Whitechapel murders and their passing into a genre almost in their own right. We will examine how public perception of these gruesome, but gripping, murders has been shaped and compare that to the reality of 1888.
The experience, in brief
- Walk the same streets as the Ripper’s victims
- Explore the dark passages and alleys that they would still recognize today
- Visit the actual murder sites of the victims as well as others
- Learn about the clue and non clue of Goulston Street
- See and hear documentary evidence of the murders with the aid of still photos and letters
