Jack the Ripper Guided Walking Tour

Led by published authors and Ripperologists, visitors walk through the cobblestone streets and alleyways of London's East End to examine the unsolved 1888 Whitechapel murders. The route stops at original crime scenes and historic landmarks including Gunthorpe Street, Mitre Square, and the Ten Bells pub. Along the way, guides use handheld projectors to cast rare archival photographs and victim images directly onto street walls.
