Unforgettable Jack the Ripper walk with Jenny
I recently took the Jack the Ripper walking tour with London Quality Tours and it completely exceeded my expectations, thanks entirely to our incredible guide, Jenny. She wasn't just knowledgeable, she brought each story to life with the presence and timing of a stage actress. Her descriptions of the events were so vivid and dramatic that I felt like I was watching a theatrical performance rather than listening to a historical account. Standing in the actual streets where these events unfolded, her storytelling gave me chills.
Jenny's depth of knowledge was clear too, she wove historical detail seamlessly into her narration, making the whole tour feel rich and immersive rather than just a list of facts.
This tour is an absolute must if you're interested in London's history, true crime, or just want to be genuinely entertained. I'd recommend it to anyone, and I'll definitely be looking for Jenny's tours again with London Quality Tours.

As Gruesome and Gritty as promised and thoroughly captivating!
I attended the Jack the Ripper walking tour with my partner on 4/7/26 after booking through a Buy a Gift voucher. The booking process was easy and provided clear, easy-to-follow information about the tour and meeting point.
The tour lasted just under two hours, and we were fortunate to have Angie as our Ripperologist. Angie was captivating from the start with her knowledge and genuine passion for history and Jack the Ripper, making the tour incredibly informative. She was able to piece together the events of autumn 1888 in such a way that no important detail, person, or location went without mention. Detailed photos were shown (including the gruesome ones!), which really helped us picture Whitechapel as it would have been. Angie explained at the start that, due to the starting point, the tour wouldn't be in chronological order. However, she regularly refreshed the timeline as we went along and summarised everything perfectly at the end.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in London's history. Book onto one of these tours and you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely be looking at some of the company's other tours in the future.

Truly felt like we stepped back in time
Really enjoyed our evening walking tour. Jenny, our guide was clearly an expert and provided so much fascinating detail and insight not just on the murders, but also brought to life the living conditions and realities of that era. Highly recommend as an activity to do in London

Insightful and atmospheric tour
Lindsey was very knowledgeable and engaging.M and her photos really helped build a picture of London in that time. Not for young children as some of the pictures are of crime scenes and very graphic.

Lindsey was very knowledgeable and had some really good visuals with her iPad so you can visualize what the area looked like in 1888. She was upbeat and somewhat witty at times. She has years of experience and it shows.If you are in London and are looking to do a Jack the Ripper tour this is definitely the one you need to sign up for. You will not be disappointed!!!

Jack the Ripper Tour and Pub Crawl
Great tour. We scheduled a private tour and pub crawl. Jenny was awesome. Her pictures really put you back in time to imagine what it was like as most of the buildings no longer exist. She was very knowledgeable, took her time on the tour and was just a great personality over all. I highly suggest a tour with her.

Thanks you so much for this great review. I think we all had a great time, I know I did!

Jack in a way you don’t normally see
Jenny was a great guide. Punctual and very informative. If you are like me and only know the Hollywood version this tour will teach you a lot.

Great value expert-led experience - highly recommend
We went on the Jack the Ripper tour as a group of friends and were all really impressed. We spent 2.5 to 3 hours walking round Aldgate and Whitechapel, seeing all the key sites and looking at crime scene photos and drawings. Brilliant value for money considering the ticket price.
Jenny was a fantastic tour guide - a real expert! She has researched the Whitechapel murders throughout her career, campaigned for gravestones for the victims and appeared on TV shows as an expert on Jack the Ripper. Her knowledge went above and beyond what we expected when we booked.
