Step back into the autumn of 1888, when London’s East End was gripped by fear as an unknown killer targeted vulnerable women in Whitechapel and Spitalfields. This chilling chapter in history focuses on the “canonical five” victims — Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly — all murdered with brutal precision that suggested medical knowledge. Their tragic stories still echo through the narrow streets where these events unfolded.
Explore how the name “Jack the Ripper” emerged from a letter sent to the police and press, a mysterious message that became central to the legend whether authentic or not. The murders shocked Victorian society, exposing the deep poverty and neglect hidden beneath the grandeur of the British Empire and forcing the world to confront the harsh realities of life in the East End.

Rebecca
Peter was an outstanding guide on the Jack the Ripper walking tour. His depth of knowledge was incredible, and he delivered every detail with engaging energy and genuine passion for the history. His storytelling was top-notch—vivid, atmospheric, and perfectly paced. The imagery he used throughout the tour added a brilliant extra layer, helping us truly picture the events and locations as they once were. If you’re looking for a guide who brings the past to life, Peter is the one. Highly recommended!

This tour was interesting, informative, educational and tastefully done! Our tour guide, Peter, did a great job of explaining the events and really painting the picture of what the area looked and felt like in that time period. Definitely recommend!
Terra
I loved this guided walking tour with Harry as our guide. He was very well-versed in Ripper history, victims and timelines. He was also highly captivating! This was one of my favorite things to do in London!! Next time, I’ll bring family and friends.

I definitely recommend a Jack the Ripper tour as something different to do when visiting London. Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew how to answer every question thrown at him. We visited multiple sites linked to Jack the Ripper including actual murder sites. Our guide also used a little projector to help set the mood, some of which were the actual murder pictures. If you don’t want to see that, he warned you before its display. When the tour was over, he also explained to everyone how to get to where you needed to go. Overall, lots of fun and highly recommend!

I came here for a school trip, and this got to be one of the best experiences I’ve done in London! I had a great time following in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper, and seeing some spots of Victorian Whitechapel. We even got to see the exact spot where his 2nd victim got murdered! While we walked around, I also got to sightsee the area which was new to me since I’ve never been to this part of London. It was really helpful doing it with a guide since not only did we follow a path based after Jack the Ripper, but he showed us some local spots along the way and recommended some areas of shops nearby to explore. Big shout out to our guide Jeremy! I really loved having you as our guide! You’re very talented, amazing, and I love your passion and interest in this subject. I enjoyed hearing your stories about your grandparents and their experiences. I love listening to you recount their tales, and adding a touch of history to them—and their associations with Jack the Ripper, and the area! To anyone reading this, I recommend you check out Jeremy and book him as your guide. Especially if you’re wanting a bit of extra fun! His tours are very unique, and super immersive! Thank you so much for your time in taking us on tour, Sir! I hope many people get to experience your work and I wish you all the best 👏🙌
