What to expect

  1. 7m
    Standing outside 9 Wentworth Street, it is chilling to realize you are tracing the very same steps Mary Ann Nichols took on her final fateful night in 1888. Though the old Frying Pan pub is long gone, the historic brickwork still holds the dark, heavy atmosphere of Victorian Whitechapel’s most infamous mystery.
  2. 12m
    Today, Hanbury Street is a bustling, vibrant hub of London's trendy Spitalfields, but beneath the modern storefronts lies the grim reality of the Ripper’s second crime scene. Pausing outside the site of number 29 offers a stark, haunting reminder of how easily the darkest chapters of Victorian history can hide in plain sight.
  3. 12m
    With its weathered shutters and peeling pinkish-red stucco, the "Red House" stands out as a beautiful, ghostly relic of Spitalfields' complex past. It’s a surreal experience to stand before this famous film location, realizing that the same eerie, narrow street you are walking today was once the everyday territory of the Ripper’s victims.
  4. 12m · Admission ticket not included
    Towering over Commercial Street, the massive stone spire of Christ Church Spitalfields served as an unavoidable landmark for everyone living in the shadow of the 1888 murders. Standing in its plaza today, it is chilling that almost all of Jack the Ripper's victims would have walked past this very church, seeking shelter or solace under its watch.
  5. 12m · Admission ticket included
    Today, Old Spitalfields Market is a bustling, trendy destination packed with boutique stalls and incredible food, but in 1888, it was the raw, chaotic heart of the Victorian East End. Walking beneath its grand, historic canopy lets you trace the steps of the market traders and locals who once crowded these very aisles during the height of the Ripper panic.
  6. 12m
    Once dubbed "the worst street in London," the former site of Dorset Street marks the haunting ground of the Ripper’s final and most gruesome crime. Standing here today, you will look at the lost entrance to Miller's Court, where the tragic fate of Mary Jane Kelly brought a terrifying end to the Autumn of Terror in 1888.
  7. Shoreditch
    Pass by
    As we pass by, your guide will point out historic Shoreditch and uncover its darker origins. Beneath today’s world-famous street art lies the gritty, late 19th-century neighborhood central to the Ripper saga.
  8. 12m
    Stepping into the quiet enclosure of Mitre Square, you will stand on the exact cobblestones where Catherine Eddowes was murdered just minutes after a police patrol passed by. The eerie stillness of the modern square does little to hide the grim memory of that dark September night, which marked the infamous "double event" of the Ripper’s reign.
  9. Brick Lane
    5m · Admission ticket not included
    Walk through the central artery of 1888 Spitalfields. Discover how this iconic street connected the key crime scenes, pubs, and alleyways of the investigation, blending rich East End history with chilling murder mystery.
  10. 12m
    Though the grim, narrow alleyway where Mary Jane Kelly rented her small room has been entirely swept away by time, standing on this physical spot remains a deeply somber experience. It is the ultimate stop on a Whitechapel journey, forcing you to look past the contemporary shops and confront the heavy ghost of Victorian London's most notorious crime scene.
  11. 12m · Admission ticket not included
    Guarding the historic gateway where the wealthy City of London met the desperate poverty of the East End, this prominent church watched over the Ripper's hunting grounds. Standing in its shadow today offers a powerful moment of reflection, connecting the modern high-rises of Aldgate directly to the dark, gaslit panic of 1888.
  12. 12m · Admission ticket included
    Stepping into the historic boundaries of Petticoat Lane, it is easy to picture the thick fog, gaslights, and overwhelming noise of the market as it existed in the Autumn of Terror. This bustling thoroughfare was the lifeblood of Whitechapel's immigrant community, making it a fascinatingly authentic stop to experience the daily world the victims lived in.
