30 minutes here
The Strand was a very fashionable and busy in Sherlock and Watson's time. After cracking a case, Sherlock would often say "Come Watson, lets take nourishment at Simpsons in the Strand" Simpsons was the favourite restaurant of Sherlock Holmes. This high end British restaurant was also a favourite of Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill and Prince Charles.
10 minutes here
St Bartholomew's Hospital Museum
The oldest hospital in London founded in 1123. This was the place Sherlock and Watson met for the first time. The next day they took up lodgings at 221b Baker Street. In the modern BBC show 'Sherlock' Watson watches on in horror as Sherlock plunges to his "death" after a rooftop conversation with Moriarty.
15 minutes here
221b Baker Street as featured in the BBC show starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes. The real life Cafe called Speedy's that features in the show is usually open Mon-Friday, so perhaps you can grab a coffee just like Sherlock does here in the show!
15 minutes here
The Sherlock Holmes Museum
The traditional 221b Baker Street. Home of Sherlock and Watson in the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Here we can stop and have a look inside the Sherlock store, or pose for a photo outside this world famous address.

Whitechapel
After a short journey on the London Underground you will arrive in the East End of London for walking tour around the heart of Whitechapel, to discover the world of Jack the Ripper. Your expert guide will share the history of the "East End" of London, and how this once very deprived area is now going through huge regeneration. The tour of this area will cover key locations relating to the Jack The Ripper Murders, and will take you through a detailed account of the case and those involved.
60 minutes here
Spitalfields Market E1
Now a very trendy and creative area, Spitalfields in 1888 was a very different place. Even the Police feared going in after dark, and during the Autumn of 1888 Jack the Ripper chose this area as one of his main stalking grounds. You will visit surviving buildings, murder sites and hear the witness testimonies from time. Perhaps these details will help you form your own opinion on the worlds most famous unsolved crime?
30 minutes here
Jack the Ripper only left a small amount of physical clues behind. The most famous, and the most debated is the "Goulston Street Graffito" A piece of bloodstained apron from Catherine Eddowes was found in a doorway on Goulston Street. Above it scrawled in Chalk on the wall was perhaps some of Jack the Rippers handwriting. Lets discuss the facts and you decide!
15 minutes here
Just off Mitre Street is Mitre Square. It was in this pitch black, cobbled square that Jack the Ripper managed to savagely kill and mutilate Catherine Eddowes. How he managed that in the darkness in less than 15 minutes still causes huge amounts of debate among Ripperologists.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided 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 Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided 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 Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided 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 Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 0 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 Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper Private Guided 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.
