Jack The Ripper Tour
Jack the Ripper Tour
Set out on a coach drive directly to the dark side of London. Along the way you will see the Old Bailey – the site of numerous public hangings, the Royal London Hospital where the Elephant Man lived, the Wallace Plaque where Braveheart was tortured and hear tales of gangland warfare, butcherous barbers and great train robbers.
As the shadows lengthen, you arrive in London’s East End, a hotbed of crime and vice in the 19th century. During the autumn of 1888, terror struck when Jack the Ripper came out of the fog and dimly lit alleys just long enough to stalk and butcher his five victims. At this point we leave the coach and walk his death trail inspecting the murder sites, deciphering the evidence and discussing his suspects. To this day the case remains unsolved. Come and investigate the case for yourself – who was Jack the Ripper?
The tour ends at the Sherlock Holmes Pub, which is situated close to Trafalgar Square.
