Step into the shadows of Victorian London and follow the chilling trail of one of history’s most infamous serial killers. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you through the heart of Whitechapel, where the gruesome 1888 murders attributed to Jack the Ripper shocked the city and the world.


Beginning near the Royal London Hospital Museum, the tour traces the path of the “canonical five” victims. As you wander through narrow alleyways and historic streets, you’ll uncover disturbing details about the crimes, the victims, and the many suspects—some more surprising than others.

Explore the atmospheric areas of Spitalfields, Aldgate, and Brick Lane, where old pubs and historic sites still echo with dark stories. Along the way, discover how this once impoverished and dangerous district transformed into a modern part of London, now standing in the shadow of skyscrapers like 30 St Mary Axe.

The tour ends near the Jack the Ripper Museum, where you may choose to continue your exploration.

Warning: This tour contains disturbing content and is strictly for adults (18+).
