Jack the Ripper Walking Tour
An evening guided walk through Whitechapel's alleys retracing the 1888 murders — true-crime history with a theatrical edge.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling as a couple and you are traveling solo.
Why
- 01
A good guide turns the dark East End streets into a gripping evening of Victorian true crime and social history.
Our read - 02
The honest catch: quality swings wildly by guide, the murder sites are now mostly unremarkable modern streets, and the subject matter is grim by design.
