Trace Jack the Ripper’s story through Whitechapel, from Buck’s Row to Dorset Street, with a guide and archival insights.
About this tour
Follow the fog-shrouded streets of the East End into one of London’s most enduring mysteries. This London Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour begins at Whitechapel Station, where the story started, and traces the case from the first unsolved murder in Buck’s Row to the last in Dorset Street.
Along the way, hear about the victims: who they were, why they may have been targeted, and how the murders were carried out. The route draws on an FBI Special Agent John Douglas profile from 1988 and Scotland Yard’s 2008 geographical profile to examine the mystery beyond familiar Victorian clichés. A radio transmitter and receiver with earphones helps you follow the guide, while iPad images bring details into view. Group numbers are limited, so the walk avoids the feel of a crowd of 35 or 40 people.
Discover the people and places behind the legend on a London Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour, and see Whitechapel through the clues that still fascinate visitors today.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.92 from 225 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 9% in London means it ranks in the top 9% of tours in London by this score.
