Is the Jack the Ripper tour suitable for children?

The tour covers real historical murders, so parental discretion is advised. We recommend the tour for ages 12 and above. The content is factual and historically focused rather than gratuitously graphic, but the subject matter is inherently dark.

Yes. The tour visits the authentic locations of the Whitechapel murders, including the sites associated with Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, and Catherine Eddowes. While the Victorian streetscape has changed, several original buildings and locations remain.

Booking online through our secure system is the best way to guarantee your spot. You will receive an instant email confirmation with your e-ticket. Please show this on your phone or bring a printed copy.

Who was Jack the Ripper?

Jack the Ripper was the name given to an unidentified serial killer who murdered at least five women in the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. Despite one of the largest police investigations of the Victorian era, the killer was never caught. Our tour explores the evidence, the suspects, and why this case still fascinates researchers today.

Can I book a private Jack the Ripper tour?

Yes, private tours are available for groups of any size. Private tours can be customised to your interests and scheduled at a time that suits you. Contact us directly for private tour pricing and availability.

Is a Jack the Ripper tour worth it?

Absolutely. A Jack the Ripper walking tour is one of the most unique things you can do in London. You'll walk the actual streets of Whitechapel where the 1888 murders took place, hear the real stories behind each victim, and get a sense of Victorian East End life that no guidebook can capture. Our tours are led by expert storytellers, capped at small group sizes so you can hear every word, and last around two hours.
