Itinerary
We begin the tour at Tower Hill Gardens, a convenient place to begin, but also on the border of the ancient City of London
A modern Jack the Ripper tour, steeped in research and history, but focusing on the victims, their lives, and the world they lived in. Though we do discuss the case, the killings and the suspects, we do so with respect and without glamourising the twisted desires of a murderous individual.
One of London's best loved markets, a stone's throw from where the Ripper's final victim, Mary Jane Kelly, lived.
Remembered today as 'Prostitute Church', as several of the women in our story made their money meeting their clients in its shadow.

The tour was really interesting and the tour guide Ben was very knowledgeable. It was a last minute booking after the guide of the original tour we booked onto never turned up, which in hindsight we are glad of because this tour was much better than we had originally planned.
Great tour, very knowledgeable historian Ben !
We really enjoyed the tour, our guide likes what he does which makes the tour good. We also got to see Roman walls.
Amazing tour. Our tour guide was Ben and he made the tour very interesting and also funny (as far as that's possible with such a dark subject). The tour was very factual yet interesting and not just "spooky" which was very nice. We definitely recommend this tour.
Our tourguide Ben did a great job! He is very passionated, gives you lots of interesting information but has the talent that you don‘t feel overwhelmed. It was my first time in London. Lucky me I booked the Street Art Tour from London with a Local (Guide Irish Bobby) and this has been one of the best tours I‘ver ever made (it was the first time I wrote a review, because he and the tour and as I know now the Company London with a Local really deserves cheering them up!) Unlucky me I booked a Sherlock tour from another company (didn‘t notice that while booking) and this was horrible. So today I decided to book the Jack the Ripper Tour again with London with a Local (company of the Street Art Tour) and what should I say: obviously the guide but somehow the company matters!! Thank you Ben for a great experience! Highly recommend!
Really great tour, Ben is a fun tour guide !
This was one of the best guided tours we’ve taken. Sam was fantastic—full of information and facts about not only Jack the Ripper but also general history for the area.
Loved it! Colin was really enthusiastic. He has a great voice to listen to, so you don't miss any part of the story.
Ben was informative, engaging and entertaining. I usually have a short attention span but found this tour captivating from start to finish. Ben was happy to answer all my questions and took extra care with people who had mobility issues. Great tour, excellent guide.
It was such a wonderful experience, and we learned so much! The storytelling was incredible. Thanks, Ben, time went by fly
