Itinerary
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I have done this tour before but the guide this time, Jude, was the best by far, he seemed to be genuinely interested in the information he gave and did it with passion, he didn't try to force his opinion on the group
We had a great time on this Jack the Ripper tour with Jude. He was very knowledgable about the Ripper muders and the general living conditions of that time period. The tour was the perfect length. I would recommed it to anyone interested in the topic.
Great knowledge. Friendly. Recommend highly.

The Jack the Ripper daylight tour focuses on the lives of the victims, which is a surprising modern twist. Our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject. Very informative and entertaining.
We went on October 10, Sarah was our guide. She was great. Very informative and engaging.
Becky was very good. Becky was also very knowledgeable. She also made it clear that you wanted to get to the next stop to find out what happened next.
Our guide Sarah was really great! She answered all of our questions and had very interesting facts about London and the whole Jack the ripper story and actual pictures from that time to share! I also liked her approach to stick to the facts and debate with the group rather than performing a show. She also gave us enough time for each location so that we did not have to rush like some other groups around us. The admission was very fair regarding the fact that we we're only 8 people in the group (2 did not show up).
Amazing tour guide very informative, thoroughly enjoyed it
