Spitalfields is a historic district in the East End of London, and it is closely associated with the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper. During the late 19th century, the area was one of the poorest and most densely populated parts of London, and it was a hotbed of crime, prostitution, and social unrest. Listen to your guide tell you how Spitalfields area was also the site of several important developments in the investigation into the Ripper case, including the discovery of important evidence, such as the infamous "From Hell" letter, which is believed to have been written by the killer.

The pub was in operation at the time of the murders and is said to have been a popular haunt for some of the Ripper's victims, as well as for the killer himself and his potential suspects. Two of the Ripper's victims, Mary Jane Kelly and Annie Chapman, were reportedly regulars at the Ten Bells, and it is believed that the last place Kelly was seen alive was leaving the pub with a man on the night of her murder. Some sources also suggest that the Ripper may have planned some of his attacks at the pub or used it as a base of operations.

Fantastic experience!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Lee was fantastic about EVERYTHING! He was so informative and kind, he was incredibly knowledgeable and so agreeable! Lee took us to all the sights, he pointed out extras and places of interest for another time, and he really gave us so much food for thought about the murders. Lee went the extra mile to drop us off at our next excursion and even gave us info on how to get a taxi back to our hotel later this afternoon. Lee is a wonderful guide and we highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review. I’m really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your time with Lee. He has a genuine passion for his subject and takes great pride in making sure guests leave with a deeper understanding, not just of the stories, but of London itself. Going the extra mile to help you with your onward plans is very much in keeping with how we like to look after our guests. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Lee, he’ll be delighted to read this.

Good Tour and Great tour guide
Awesome experience doing the Jack the Ripper London tour. Lee was ebullient and very friendly and knowledgeable. He makes the trip so immersive and interesting. He also has ample supplemental information about all of the evidence that is known. It feels like we could literally crack the case wide open with all of Lee’s expert analysis and in-depth understanding of the facts. This tour is so well worth the money. Our driver and Jack the Ripper historian Lee, navigated us through the narrow alleyways and streets where 5 of the canonical victims were found. The information was captivating and informative. Some things we knew but there were plenty of gaps in our understanding. That’s where Lee was able to fill in the blanks and help us understand better. We feel like true history detectives.
Response from the operator: Amazing feedback guys. So pleased you had a great time. Also, thank you for your own flexibility on an unexpected time slot problem and adjustment. we appreciated it.

Fantastic
My husband and I highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Lee, was phenomenal. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable and taught us so much about Jack the Ripper and East London’s history as well as interesting facts about other parts of London. You will love this tour with Lee!
Response from the operator: Hey Heather, thanks for sharing your feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and what a great part of London to see......all that urban vibe blending nicely with centuries old history. Lee will be thrilled to see your review!

We had an incredible time!
Lee was fantastic! He picked us up at our hotel and took us for a 3-hr tour around the city stopping at four of the verified Jack the Ripper murder sites. His knowledge of Jack the Ripper and the city made our trip wonderful and we really enjoyed it. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in having a private driver tell you all the macabre stories with the knowledge that Lee has.
Response from the operator: Lee is quite the Ripperologist and loves the JR tours, thanks for feeding back on the great time you had.

Great Company
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Andrew, our guide was very punctual, even arriving a couple of minutes early. Andrew was so pleasant, easy to chat to and was a wealth of knowledge. The emphasis of this tour was more on the women who had died tragically and the circumstances which forced them into such vulnerable and dangerous situations. Andrew drove us around the areas the crimes were committed and we were also able to stop and walk too. On the way back to our hotel, Andrew drove us around some of the sights of London at night which was truly beautiful. It was a great tour and highly recommend Andrew. When I called the company to confirm our booking, I found them also to be so pleasant and easily to deal with on the phone. I highly recommend this company.
Response from the operator: Hey Maria, Thank you very much for feeding back on your Jack the Ripper Taxi Tour and our guide Andrew. I will feedback to Andrew for you. So glad yo also got to see some of the iconic landmarks of London at night, what a treat. Thanks you for choosing Visit London Taxi Tours.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $398 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jack the Ripper London Private Taxi Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
