Your Itinerary
Whitechapel Road
We start in Whitechapel Road opposite the London Hospital where Emma Elizabeth Smith the first victim of the Whitechapel Murders died after she was brutally attacked on April 3rd 1888.
Whitechapel
We will visit Buck's Row, Whitechapel for a crime scene investigation of when, where and how Jack the Ripper committed his first murder. And learn about Polly Nichols and just how she became Jack the Ripper's first victim. And right here discover our first suspect.
Christ Church Spitalfields
The magnificent example of Nicholas Hawksmoor's work. Christchurch Spitalfields which stands right opposite the famous, or should that be infamous, Ten Bells Pub. A pub that gets its name from the church that stands across the road from it. A pub that the victims drank in.
Admission Not Included
Old Spitalfields Market
Where the American writer, Jack London, witnessed some of the appalling examples of abject poverty common in Victorian London. Old Spitalfields Market a centre of the community for centuries.
Spitalfields
This is where the worst street in London stood. And where the second victim, Annie Chapman was living up to the night she was murdered. It's also where Mary Kelly lived and was murdered. She was a very different kind of victim and she brings with her a third convincing suspect.

Richard knows his stuff! We all enjoyed that the tour was so much more than lurid and salacious details. It was history and a look into life in London in the late 1800’s. To reveal much more would ruin the surprise. Suffice it to say that my group of friends and I still discuss what we learned that rainy night! We truly appreciated the headphones as well.

Having done tours with Richard before, I knew about his guiding quality. A special appeal of his Jack the Ripper tour was the small group size. It turns out that on a cold January evening, I was the only tour guest.
As usual, Richard had researched his topic very well and delivered the facts in a very entertaining way.
It also showed me areas of London I had not visited before (and I have lived here for 14 years).
I would definitely recommend this tour and, of course, Richard as a tour guide.

So interesting, fun, and Richard is an excellent and passionate guide! The directions and planning was so easy. And the smaller group was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed the walk around Whitechapel and Spitalfields with Richard. His depth of knowledge, story telling skills and passion for the subject matter were most apparent and the intimacy of the small group really enhanced the experience for us. We were especially impressed with Richard's efforts to put this extremely well known story into a context that considers the social conditions, the plight of women and the narrow perspective of the investigators at the time of the murders, thereby challenging long established and widely held assumptions. Very informative and thought provoking. We highly recommend this tour.

Richard cuts to the chase! He’s a wealth of knowledge and has extensive background in the Ripper. He sets the stage for the time period and you’re enveloped in the story. Great job. Will do again next year.

Richard was a wealth of information- loved hearing all the different scenarios of possible suspects. He provided so much information we had never considered. If you’ve ever had interest in Jack the Ripper- Or like us just curious- his tour is a must. We had a great time!
