TOUR DETAILS
Time: About 2 Hours
Distance: About 1 mile (2 km)
Start: Whitechapel Underground Station
End: Christ Church Spitalfields
This is a tour for mature audiences.
Throughout this walk, we will discuss the unsolved, brutal murders, of five East End prostitutes. There will be detailed descriptions of crime scenes and vivid retellings of the horrific slayings carried out by an unidentified assailant, known as Jack the Ripper.
This walk will take you back to Victorian Whitechapel, when it was one of the most impoverished locations in the country and we will tell you the stories of the women who were killed, as well as looking at how the case was handled, why it was never solved, and even theories as to who Jack the Ripper may have been.
