Jack the Ripper - London walks and tours

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Our Jack the Ripper London walks take you through the very streets where the infamous murders occurred in the autumn of 1888.

The alleyways we explore really are amongst some of the most atmospheric in London and our set of Victorian Photographs, which show the streets through which you stroll on our London walk, truly help give you a sense of what the area was like at the time of the murders.

In addition our Jack the Ripper Tour is led by experts who have been researching the case for many years and who are up to date with every twist and turn of what is, without doubt, the world’s most famous murder mystery.

Our London walking tour guides include Richard Jones and Mark Ubsdell who together produced what has been called one of the best Jack the Ripper documentaries of recent years Unmasking Jack the Ripper.

This 75 minute dvd was recently chosen by the Museum in Docklands as the one they wanted to sell at their shop during their 2008 Jack the Ripper exhibition.

It features expert opinions by way of talking head interviews given by such renowned Jack the Ripper historians and Tour guides as Paul Begg, Lindsay Siviter and Jenny Philips.

It also contains some truly atmospheric dramatic recreations that were filmed on location in the streets of Whitechapel, as well as in the London Dungeon’s Jack the Ripper exhibition, the Clink Prison Museum and The, now closed, House of Detention in Clerkenwell.

The dvd costs just £12.99 and can be ordered from our online shop.

In the meantime here is a little taster of what the film looks like.
