Overview
Walk through Whitechapel and Spitalfields and discover the East End beyond the legend of Jack the Ripper.
In 1888, five women were murdered in London. This tour explores the lives of Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—women often overshadowed by the myth that followed their deaths.
As we walk through markets, alleys, and historic streets, uncover the realities of Victorian East London: migration, overcrowding, precarious work, social inequality, and everyday survival. Along the way, explore how the “Jack the Ripper” obsession began and why it still shapes how this part of London is remembered today.
This is a social history walk through the East End—where empire, poverty, and public fascination collided.
