This immersive Jack the Ripper walking tour takes you deep into the heart of Victorian London, blending gripping true crime storytelling with visits to authentic British pubs that are part of the Ripper’s chilling history. Led by expert guides, you’ll explore the very streets where the Ripper’s crimes took place, tracing the footsteps of his victims and suspects through shadowy alleys and historic markets. Along the way, you’ll step inside traditional Victorian pubs directly tied to the case - not just for atmosphere, but because they’re real locations where key figures once drank, gathered, and vanished.

Walk past the site of The Frying Pan, the last known drinking spot of his first victim.

You will see the places and buildings where his victims were murdered and found; streets, buildings and alleyways that have hardly changed since 1888; the pubs and buildings where his victims drank, worked and lived; the doorway where Jack the Ripper’s only clue was discovered; and police photos of the victims and evidence. The route you will take follows Jack the Ripper's murders in sequence. This area is steeped in history, and you'll be sure to learn all about its fascinating stories that took place after Jack's appearance as well.  Jack the Ripper is a gruesome and unsolved part of London's history. Your guide has lived in the centre of London for over 20 years (for 5 years right in Whitechapel, where the Jack the Ripper murders took place).

I’ve always had a fascination with Jack the Ripper and that era in general. Yassen was very knowledgeable. He was great to talk to and took an interest in all of the people on the tour. He made it interesting and was good fun. Would highly recommend the tour and Yassen as a tour guide. He’s very good at what he does and you can really tell that he enjoys his job.

Jude was a great guide. Very knowledgeable, didn’t just read a script, and was entertaining. We saw points and buildings other tours didn’t go to while getting an enriching history of the Jack the Ripper story.
