Highlights
- St Botolph’s Aldgate - The tour begins outside St Botolph’s Church, historically known as the Prostitutes’ Church due to the solicitation that occurred on the island where it stood.
- Aldgate Square - Moving around to the square beside the church, there is a vivid description of life in the poverty-stricken, overcrowded area of Whitechapel in 1888, highlighting the squalor, crime, and degradation faced by those living on the breadline.
- EC3A 5BU - Mitre Street, just inside the City boundary, is the stop where Elizabeth Stride (Long Liz), the first victim killed by Jack the Ripper on the night of the double event, is discussed. A few yards away, the death of Catherine Eddowes, killed only 45 minutes later, is also covered.
- Petticoat Lane Market - Now known as Middlesex Street, this location marks the boundary between the City of London and the Metropolitan area, an important distinction due to the separate police forces for these areas.
- Goulston Street - The tour proceeds to the doorway where the only clue was found, following the same route the police took that night in pursuit of Jack the Ripper.
- Gunthorpe Street - Viewing Gunthorpe Street from Wentworth Street, the tour highlights the spot where Martha Tabram was found murdered on August 7, 1888, in George Yard Buildings. She is now considered the most likely first victim of Jack the Ripper.
- Thrawl Street - Continuing to Brick Lane, the tour stops opposite the Frying Pan Pub on the corner of Thrawl Street, where Mary Ann Nichols had her last drink before being murdered by Jack the Ripper in Bucks Row behind Whitechapel Station.
- Hanbury Street - The tour continues up Brick Lane, turning left into Hanbury Street, where Annie Chapman was murdered in the backyard of 29 Hanbury Street.
- Wilkes Street - Turning into Wilkes Street, a street untouched by time since the 1800s, the tour makes its way to Puma Court, where the Dear Boss letter is discussed.
- The Ten Bells - The tour stops opposite the Ten Bells, Mary Kelly’s favorite pub, and also views Christchurch Graveyard, known as Itchy Park, where the homeless would sleep during the day.
- Old Spitalfields Market - Opposite the market is the London Fruit & Wool Exchange. The tour stops at the entrance to discuss the letter sent to George Lusk, head of the Whitechapel Vigilance Group.
- London Fruit & Wool Exchange - In the square behind the London Fruit & Wool Exchange, the tour concludes with the murder of Mary Kelly, Jack the Ripper’s last victim, killed on November 9, 1888. From here, it is a 5-minute walk to Liverpool Street Station, offering a choice of tube train lines.
