Here you can find all the stops of our Jack the Ripper tour in London, during which we will be talking about the five murders known as the Canonical Five.
The first stop of the tour will be behind the Chamberlain Pub where we will take you back to the night of August 31st 1888. We will then get a clearer view of St. Botolph Church, which has been a religious site for about 1000 years now. After that we will move to Mitre Square where we will talk about Catherine Eddows and then to Goulston Street where The Ripper took a piece of Catherine Eddows blood stained apron. We will lead you up a road called Toynbee Street where we will see a barber shop that quite proudly takes the name “Jack The Clipper”. After we will move to the next stop, Puma Court where Annie Chapman was escorted by an unknown gentleman… until we get to the last stop of this free walking tour in Spitafields Market.
My friend and I went on the Jack the Ripper tour on a whim and we were SO happy that we did! During the two hour walking tour led by Victor, we learned so much about the history and theories of Jack the Ripper as well as the history of the Whitechapel area during the 1880’s.
One of the things said by Victor (which I thought was incredibly classy) was that he likes to focus on the five victims’ stories more so than just glorify the killer; news outlets should take note!
We did the Jack the Ripper tour on a Friday in September 18 with Victor as our guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Victor is very easy to listen to and really knows his stuff – he spoke respectfully about the victims which really brought the information to life. Having never done a city ‘walk’ before we didnt know what to expect and researched lots of companies offering more or less the same thing. We initially chose a ‘free’ walk in case we didnt enjoy it but as we walked and encountered other groups, you are NOT getting anything less from Wonders of London – a very professional tour – thank you, we would use you again. (Please do tip the guides accordingly!).
