Overview

True crime fanatics often focus on Jack the Ripper, one of London’s most notorious serial killers, rather than the women whose lives he (or maybe she?) cut short. Learn about Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly on this informative walking tour through Whitechapel. See the spots where some murders took place as you discover both facts and theories behind this long-cold case.

Judd was a terrific guide...

Randi_G, Jul 2026

Judd was a terrific guide who was friendly and knowledgeable - not only about Jack the Ripper, but also about other important London history. We truly enjoyed our tour and learned a lot about the East End and what life was like in that part of the city during that time. Of course all of the details we learned about Jack the Ripper and his victims were fascinating. I’m so glad we chose this Jack the Ripper tour option!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so pleased to hear that Judd’s friendly approach and extensive knowledge helped bring both the Jack the Ripper story and the wider history of London’s East End to life. It’s great to know you enjoyed learning about the area’s past as well as the fascinating details surrounding the case and its victims. We’re delighted you chose to join us and hope to welcome you back on another London tour soon!

A walk that we will not forget!

It was a very nice walk in the neighborhood where Jack the Ripper ran rampant. Our guide Matt was excellent and knows his subject. They gave us a host of interesting details he also had pictures and anecdotes about the surroundings. I recommend this tour to anyone who loves history and truecrime.
