Highlights
In 1888, tragedy struck: Five lives were taken, countless more changed forever. While the killer has become a household name, his victims have been largely lost to history. Join us as we follow in the footsteps of Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary Jane on our “The 5 Women + Jack the Ripper” tour of London. With your expert guide you’ll unearth clues, examine the crime scenes and meet the human beings behind the headlines. Just how much of what you think you know is wrong? Included free: The Ripperologist’s Companion. Every guest gets our interactive case file: the five women and who they really were, ten suspects with the evidence for and against each, an 1888 map, a timeline and three puzzles. Read up before your walk (the murder sites stay sealed until you have walked the ground), then the whole file unlocks when your tour ends, with prizes for guests who work the case. No app, nothing else to buy: it opens in your browser with your booking reference and name.

About London
London mixes royal ceremony, world-class museums and riverside landmarks with distinct neighbourhoods, markets and parks to explore on foot.
The Thames threads the city together. On its banks stand the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge and the long South Bank walk past the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey anchor the older skyline, while glass towers crowd the financial district.
Top-ranked sights in London: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
