The pub was in operation at the time of the murders and is said to have been a popular haunt for some of the Ripper's victims, as well as for the killer himself and his potential suspects. Two of the Ripper's victims, Mary Jane Kelly and Annie Chapman, were reportedly regulars at the Ten Bells, and it is believed that the last place Kelly was seen alive was leaving the pub with a man on the night of her murder. Some sources also suggest that the Ripper may have planned some of his attacks at the pub or used it as a base of operations.
