Jack the Ripper and The Five Women of Whitechapel Tour
Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly. These are the names of the five women whose lives were brutally cut short by the serial killer commonly known as Jack the Ripper in 1888.
In this revealing tour around the streets of Whitechapel, we focus on their story, the lives they led, the London they knew.
We will discover the series of events which led them all to fall prey to a murderer, and journey back in time to understand the reasons why the police were never able to solve the case, unpacking the greatest murder mystery of all.
Who were the chief suspects? Was Jack actually Jill? Was there a grand conspiracy hushed up by the establishment?
On the way we thread through the atmospheric streets of Whitechapel, discovering original buildings from the time, and visiting some of the actual spots where the gruesome murders took place, and the set of circumstances which led them to their fate.
