    What you'll see and do

    1. At Banglatown Arch we will see where Polly Nichols, Jack's first victim, had her final drink: The Frying Pan Pub. During this part of the tour we'll do some myth busting, discussing the lives of Victorian women in the East End. Then we'll tell the story of Polly Nichols life and her gruesome murder at Buck's Row.

      15 minutes here

    2. Brick Lane Vintage Market

      On Hanbury Street, near Brick Lane Vintage Market, we will discuss how 'The Great Stink' made London smell. Then we'll talk about the life and death of Annie Chapman, Jack's second victim. This is where we will ask an important question: Was Jack the Ripper a doctor?

      15 minutes here

    3. Princelet Street is one of the best preserved streets in the local area. Originally lived in by the Huguenots, we will see a building that is almost completely unchanged since the 1800s: Number 4 Princelet Street. This is where we will have one of the most compelling conversations of the tour: Who is Jack the Ripper? I will give you the evidence, but YOU will have to decide.

      15 minutes here

    4. The Ten Bells Pub is the only building we believe all the victims once visited. Mary Anne Kelly had her final drink here. We will discuss the history of the pub and the famous people who have drunk there.

      Pass by without stopping

    7. The Bell pub hosted some of the first seances in all of London. Here we will learn about some of the terrible diseases you could catch in Victorian London, before telling the story of Elizabeth Stride, Jack's third victim.

    8. Aldgate Square

      Next to Aldgate Square is Mitre Square - where Catherine Eddowes was killed. Here we will learn about the wonderful life of this artistic, rebellious spirit, and learn about her final night, spent in the City of London police station.

      10 minutes here

    9. St Botolph's Aldgate

      St Botolph Without Aldgate had a very strange reputation in 1888. Here we will talk about this, while learning about Mary Kelly.

      15 minutes here

    10. Aldgate Square

      On our final stop we will SOLVE the crime... or will we? Having learned about the five victims, we will discuss the suspects once again and discover who, out of our top three, was actually most likely to be Jack.

    Fantastic!

    The best, best, best. Jude’s transported us back in time with his fascinating tour of Jack the Ripper. Totally captivating. You should definitely put it on your to do list! Thank you Jude

    A ripper of a tour !

    I cannot recommend Jude’s tours more highly - he was not only knowledgeable and articulate but also incredibly fun. He has a fantastic energy and confidence, and a seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of London (both Jack the Ripper related and otherwise) We toured famous sites around Whitechapel for two hours or so, with a brief intermission at the pub. Whether you’re visiting London as a tourist, looking for a stag/hen event or just want a less conventional night out this would make a great choice!!!

    Amazing!

    Amazing tour - highly recommend. Enjoyed being in a smaller group and supporting a smaller buisness. If you ever get round to organising a Poets of Hampstead tour, we will be very interested!!!!

    A really fun and interesting tour.

    Having been a fan of city ghost and dark history tours, I’d been meaning to go on a ripper tour for a while. I’m so glad I chose Jude’s tour. He is a great tour guide who really knows everything there is to know about Jack the Ripper and the darker side of London. I would highly recommend.

    Jack The Ripper Walking Tour With PhD Student: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Jack The Ripper Walking Tour With PhD Student cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 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 PhD Student 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 PhD Student 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 PhD Student?

    +

    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 PhD Student 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 PhD Student?

    +

    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 PhD Student 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 PhD Student?

    +

    Included: Entertainment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Jack The Ripper Walking Tour With PhD Student?

    +

    I will be standing outside the pub. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Jack The Ripper Walking Tour With PhD Student offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is Jack The Ripper Walking Tour With PhD Student wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Not recommended for people with limited mobility: we will be walking for two hours. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
