Follow the Whitechapel murder trail on a guided London walk through surviving sites, Victorian history, and the enduring Jack the Ripper mystery.
About this tour
Walk through Whitechapel and follow the trail of London’s most notorious unsolved murder case. In the autumn of 1888, five women were killed in the East End, and the killer disappeared without a trace. This London Jack the Ripper Walking Tour visits surviving locations connected to the crimes and explores the evidence, investigation, and suspects.
Hear the stories of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly as you move through the streets and alleys of Whitechapel. Along the way, learn about the harsh Victorian conditions that shaped the women’s lives and consider why the police never brought the killer to justice. A knowledgeable London guide brings the case into focus while separating known details from the questions that still surround it.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.98 from 46 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.
