About this tour

Walk through Whitechapel and Spitalfields, where the Jack the Ripper murders gripped East London in the autumn of 1888. On this 90-minute London Jack the Ripper walking tour, a local guide brings the case and its Victorian setting into focus.

Hear about the five women known as the canonical victims: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly. Follow the story of the name Jack the Ripper, first made famous by a letter sent to police and the press, and consider why the killer’s methods led some to suspect medical or anatomical knowledge. The walk also reveals the poverty and social neglect that shaped life in Victorian East London, beyond the wealth of the British Empire.

Meet your guide at Aldgate East Station, where they’ll be waiting with a Scandic Tours sign and a lantern. Discover the history behind one of criminal history’s most infamous names on this London Jack the Ripper walking tour.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.75 from 44 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 6.8.
