How was she discovered?

Here, you will learn about the Victorian inquest process, the progression of the Ripper murder inquests, the witnesses called, and the outcomes of these inquests.

• Hanbury Street - Visit 29 Hanbury Street, where the second victim, Annie Chapman, was found. Annie’s death sparked public and media panic, increasing pressure on the local police to find the person the London newspapers dubbed ‘The Whitechapel Murderer’!

How did this media and public panic contribute to the myth of Jack the Ripper? Discover the answers on this tour!

• Henriques Street - The fourth stop on our Jack the Ripper tour is Henriques Street (formerly Berner Street), where the third victim, Liz Stride, was found.

Liz was not mutilated after her murder, leading some to believe she was not a ‘true’ victim of the Ripper. Why is there so much debate about who was murdered by Jack the Ripper? Find out on this tour.

• Mitre Square - The fifth stop is Mitre Square, the site of the fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes. The murders of Catherine Eddowes and Liz Stride are known as the ‘double event,’ the only time Jack the Ripper killed two women in one night.

This double event and several communications sent to the Central News Agency in London led to the naming of the Whitechapel Murderer as Jack The Ripper. How did the name change? Book our tour to learn more!
