Whitechapel
Your first stop will be a short walk from Whitechapel Station, where the Ripper's first canonical murder occurred. Here, your guide will tell you all about the first official victim, Polly Nichols.

Whilst here, you will discover how inquests during the Victorian period were held, how each of the inquests into the Ripper murders progressed, who was called as witnesses, and what there outcomes where.
10 minutes
Hanbury St
29 Hanbury Street, where the second victim Annie Chapman, was found. Annie's death started public and media panic, which placed increasing pressure on the local police to find the person that the London newspapers were calling 'The Whitechapel Murderer'! How did this panic in the press and with the public fuel the myth that was to become Jack the Ripper? Find out on this tour!
10 minutes
Henriques St
Your fourth stop on our Jack the Ripper tour is Henriques Street (formerly Berner Street), where the 3rd victim Liz Stride, was found dead. Liz was not mutilated after her murder, leading some to believe that she was not a 'true' victim of the Ripper. Why is there so much conjecture about who was murdered by Jack the Ripper? Find out on this tour.
10 minutes
Mitre Square
The fifth stop is Mitre Square, the site of the murder of the fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes. The murder of Catherine Eddows and Liz Stride is referred to as the 'double event' the only time that Jack the Ripper killed two women in one night. It was this double event and several communications which were sent to the Central News Agency in London, which led to the naming of the Whitechapel Murderer as Jack The Ripper. How did the name change? Book our tour to find out more!
