What you'll see and do
Standing outside 9 Wentworth Street, it is chilling to realize you are tracing the very same steps Mary Ann Nichols took on her final fateful night in 1888. Though the old Frying Pan pub is long gone, the historic brickwork still holds the dark, heavy atmosphere of Victorian Whitechapel’s most infamous mystery.
12 minutes here
Today, Hanbury Street is a bustling, vibrant hub of London's trendy Spitalfields, but beneath the modern storefronts lies the grim reality of the Ripper’s second crime scene. Pausing outside the site of number 29 offers a stark, haunting reminder of how easily the darkest chapters of Victorian history can hide in plain sight.
12 minutes here
With its weathered shutters and peeling pinkish-red stucco, the "Red House" stands out as a beautiful, ghostly relic of Spitalfields' complex past. It’s a surreal experience to stand before this famous film location, realizing that the same eerie, narrow street you are walking today was once the everyday territory of the Ripper’s victims.
12 minutes here
Towering over Commercial Street, the massive stone spire of Christ Church Spitalfields served as an unavoidable landmark for everyone living in the shadow of the 1888 murders. Standing in its plaza today, it is chilling that almost all of Jack the Ripper's victims would have walked past this very church, seeking shelter or solace under its watch.
12 minutes here · Admission not included
Today, Old Spitalfields Market is a bustling, trendy destination packed with boutique stalls and incredible food, but in 1888, it was the raw, chaotic heart of the Victorian East End. Walking beneath its grand, historic canopy lets you trace the steps of the market traders and locals who once crowded these very aisles during the height of the Ripper panic.
12 minutes here · Admission included
Once dubbed "the worst street in London," the former site of Dorset Street marks the haunting ground of the Ripper’s final and most gruesome crime. Standing here today, you will look at the lost entrance to Miller's Court, where the tragic fate of Mary Jane Kelly brought a terrifying end to the Autumn of Terror in 1888.
12 minutes here
Guarding the historic gateway where the wealthy City of London met the desperate poverty of the East End, this prominent church watched over the Ripper's hunting grounds. Standing in its shadow today offers a powerful moment of reflection, connecting the modern high-rises of Aldgate directly to the dark, gaslit panic of 1888.
12 minutes here · Admission not included
Stepping into the quiet enclosure of Mitre Square, you will stand on the exact cobblestones where Catherine Eddowes was murdered just minutes after a police patrol passed by. The eerie stillness of the modern square does little to hide the grim memory of that dark September night, which marked the infamous "double event" of the Ripper’s reign.
12 minutes here
Stepping into the historic boundaries of Petticoat Lane, it is easy to picture the thick fog, gaslights, and overwhelming noise of the market as it existed in the Autumn of Terror. This bustling thoroughfare was the lifeblood of Whitechapel's immigrant community, making it a fascinatingly authentic stop to experience the daily world the victims lived in.
12 minutes here · Admission included
Though the grim, narrow alleyway where Mary Jane Kelly rented her small room has been entirely swept away by time, standing on this physical spot remains a deeply somber experience. It is the ultimate stop on a Whitechapel journey, forcing you to look past the contemporary shops and confront the heavy ghost of Victorian London's most notorious crime scene.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops?
+
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 Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops?
+
Around 5 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.
What is included in Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops?
+
Included: Expert tour guide; and Historic pub stops along the way. Not included: Gratuities; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops?
+
Please meet your guide outside The White Hart Pub (89 Whitechapel High St, London E1 7RA). To ensure a smooth start, please wait outside, your guide will check you in before the tour begins! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops?
+

Is Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Historic Pub Stops wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
