    Richard was beyond knowledgable about the victims and Jack the Ripper and provided us his own thoughts which gave us a new perception of this mystery. I would love to sit and have a cocktail or two with Richard and discuss further. My only suggestion is that at 7pm, tourist are exhausted from their day touring and perhaps a section of the tour sitting (perhaps at Spitafield Market) would be very welcomed!

    Our guide Richard was very knowledgable. He clearly has a passion for the story and history behind Jack the Ripper. We learned a lot about London’s history as well. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great walking tour!

    My sister and I had a great time and learned so much, Richard is incredibly knowledgeable. It was like having a walk with a Jack the Ripper professor . The only downside was it was late October and I did not bring a warm jacket! Would recommend to anyone with an interest in this time period, will take my friends next time I am in London.

    I have been wanting to visit the UK and tour the infamous Whitechapel neighborhood home to the Jack The Ripper murders since first hearing of the story as a kid. Reading the reviews I was inclined to choose an author of a published book but I ended up choosing Richard's tour for its limited group size and it turned out to be a great choice. He provided good instructions as to where to meet him and he was unmistakable in his signature Indiana Jones hat. Richard handed everyone an amplified ear peace which I thought was brilliant, thus being in a noisy neighborhood where we would otherwise compete to hear the talk over the crowds and noise. I withheld my profession as a Special Agent until the end and I let Richard carry on unknowing of my experience and training in criminal investigation. Although I disagreed with his overall theory, I was quite impressed with his research. I was most impressed to find that he was one of the very few who challenged the conventional wisdom as to a number of aspects of the murders that have been accepted as definitive fact for face value. Richard offers a very good challenges to the absolutism that has otherwise been accepted most notably that the female victims were definitively working as prostitutes in White Chapel. This spirited challenge equally calls into question their behaviors on the night of their death and the eyewitness testimony concerning what several witnesses "believed" they were seeing. Richard equally pointed out some significant vulnerabilities in the eye witness testimony that has for the most part been accepted as accurate and factual. I really appreciated his critical analysis and thinking of the murders not being a regurgitation of the same hashed out run of the mill analysis. I would highly recommend Richards walking tour.

    Duration 10 minutes
    2

    Whitechapel

    Duration 20 minutes
    3

    Brick Ln

    Brick Lane is of course the curry capital of Great Britain but this is also the eastern boundary of where all five victims lived at the the time of the murders. Thrawl Street which ran from Brick Lane to Commercial Street where Polly Nichols stayed at Wilmott's Lodging House. And Flower and Dean Street where the third and fourth victims lived and also where Scotland Yard believe Jack the Ripper was living. And a stone's throw from Brick Lane is where Annie Chapman, the second victim, was found murdered. More CSI and a second suspect who fits both a Scotland Yard geographical profile and also a profile created by the FBI.

    Duration 20 minutes
    4

    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.

    Duration 15 minutes
    Admission 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.

    6

    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.

    Duration 20 minutes
