Near the gallery, you may get interested in the stories about Jack the Ripper.

The private tour will open doors to places that are off-limits to large tour groups. Petticoat Lane Market is one of these places. The market was founded about 400 years ago by the French Huguenots. Even though the Victorians changed the name to Middlesex Street it is still known under its previous name. On Sundays, the market grows bigger, and you’ll be able to find everything from leather goods to watches and toys. You’ll also get a perfect view of the neo-futuristic 30 St Mary Axe and other skyscrapers, and hear the stories about their construction, as well as about the structures that haven’t been built there.
