About this activity

London's most original and popular Jack the Ripper pub tour, led by published authors and true crime experts. Visit key crime scene locations, stopping off for drinks along the way at several historic pubs, including the famous Ten Bells - where Annie Chapman and Mary Jane Kelly were last seen alive - and the notorious White Hart Pub, where a prime suspect lived and worked in the dark cellars below.

Explore the social heart of Ripper-era London, hearing of the murders as the locals would have heard them: whispered over pints, argued late into the night, and etched into pub walls and memory.

Far more than a walking tour; it’s an immersive descent into the world of 1888, where every story is meticulously researched and every location is brought vividly to life. As part of your experience, you’ll receive an exclusive souvenir guidebook, crafted by our expert team and packed with rare photographs, detailed maps, and in-depth crime scene insights you won’t find anywhere else.
