Things to Do in London During the Summer Holidays

You may choose a walking tour of London, or you may go for a more immersive experience by booking the famous Jack the Ripper Tour – voted number 1 by TripAdvisor.

Jack the Ripper Tour London

A great option for children of all ages is the Jack the Ripper Tour London:

The Jack the Ripper Tour in London is a great summer day-out activity for kids of all ages! Jack the Ripper was one of London’s worst criminals, and the case has still not been solved.
