This Jack the Ripper tour begins where Jack the Ripper began, at Whitechapel Station. Standing right there is the best way to understand the events surrounding the murder of Polly Nichols in Buck’s Row - the first of the ‘Jack the Ripper murders’.
The Second Murder took place behind 29 Hanbury Street
We visit 29 Hanbury Street, the site of the murder of Annie Chapman and examine the evidence and some of the assumptions that are still popular today.
The houses in Spitalfields built by the Huguenots
All of the victims lived within 150 metres of these beautiful 18th century houses in the Spitalfields district of Whitechapel.
Dorset Street
In the 19th century Dorset Street was described as the worst street in London. When the fourpence for her doss money was available Annie Chapman would get a bed in Crossingham’s Lodging House in Dorset Street.
In 19th Century London Men would pay Tuppence (Two Pennies) to sleep hanging over a rope.
Miller’s Court
Miller’s Court was a little passageway off Dorset Street and the fifth victim, Mary Kelly, lived at number 13. This was also where she was murdered in the most savage of all of the brutal attacks.
At the end I will lead you to Liverpool Street Station.
I hope you’ll join me.
