Although it may seem pretty obvious that you will learn about Jack the Ripper on a Jack the Ripper tour, there’s actually much more to the tour than you might first expect.
Learning About the Killer
Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper remains famous to this day for many reasons. Firstly, no-one knows his true identity, making it one of Britain’s biggest unsolved mysteries. Secondly, his crimes have continued to shake the country even now, many years after they took place.
A Jack the Ripper walking tour in London would tell you all the facts we know about the killer. However, you would also learn all about the list of possible suspects – who knows, one of these may even have been the true killer. You will also get to see the famous Ripper letters which will tell you everything that you need to know about how the killer obtained his name and why it stuck. In fact, you might be surprised to know that this is actually one of the most commonly asked questions about the killer.
The Victims
As we have already mentioned, a tour on Jack the Ripper won’t only inform you about the killer. The confirmed victims, also known as the Canonical Five, will also be discussed at great length during the tour. You will learn exactly who they were, how and when they died and why they are known to be definitive victims of this notorious killer.
There are many theories surrounding the Ripper and one of the most common is that there were other victims. However, there is no proof to suggest that this is true. Of course, after you have completed the tour, you may have a completely different opinion. Do you believe that the killer did, in fact, commit other crimes as well as the known murders?
The Area
You will also be able to take a Whitechapel tour where you will see all the sites associated with the Ripper and his victims. Not only is this a great glimpse into the history of the East End, but you never know – you might even find yourself walking in the same footsteps as the killer himself!
You will visit famous locations like the Ten Bells pub where many of the victims were frequent visitors and some people even say that the Ripper himself may have been a regular. If you decide to stop and have a drink in this or any other pub associated with the killer, you may even end up sitting in the same place as one of his victims.
The History
Last but certainly not least, you will learn all about Victorian history and what it would have been like for the killer and his victims all those years ago. Assisted by our world famous Ripper-Vision, you will gain information on the killer and his crimes while travelling back in time to Victorian Whitechapel.
You don’t need to imagine what this famous era was like – you will be there to experience it for yourself. Back in this time, the city of London went through various changes and traumas, the Ripper being one traumatic event. But all of this and more has only added to the city’s rich history.
