The story of Jack the Ripper is an unsettling one and being told the story while having a drink in a true Victorian public house makes it all the more gripping. Why not join our tour with your very own designated expert guide?
Over the course of the winter of 1888, Jack the Ripper murdered five women in the Aldgate and Whitechapel areas of London’s East End. Some historians theorise he may even have killed up to ten victims over a longer period of time. His victims were brutally mutilated and their organs removed. This gruesome case has attracted tourists to London’s East End for years, but on our Jack the Ripper pub tour, you can discover the real facts behind the legends.
In the autumn of 1888, terrified locals would have gathered together in the crowded pubs to tell the tales of the latest murder. This is how the story of Jack the Ripper would first have been told, before the crowds reluctantly ventured away from the warmth and safety of the pub, out into the shadowy East End streets, desperately hoping they would not meet the same fate as the Canonical Five Jack the Ripper victims…
On our Jack the Ripper pub tour in London, we will visit these pubs and once again, tell the story of the Autumn of Terror. In between pub stops, you will visit key locations in the Jack the Ripper story, before moving on to the warmth of our next pub venue.
On our Jack the Ripper pub tour in London, we will walk through Whitechapel and visit the following pubs:
This is one of the last pubs that Ripper victim Martha Tabram drank in on the night of her death. It remains the only pub to have Ripper memorabilia on the walls still. The White Hart was also the workplace of infamous poisoner George Chapman. However, fear not, as he was hanged in 1901. But was he also Jack the Ripper? This pub is the preferred watering hole of the Ripper tour guides, who, after a long night entertaining the masses, will enjoy a drink in what is now known as ‘Ripper Corner’.
The 10 bells pub Jack the Ripper is associated with is the most famous pub. Everyone knows about this location where Jack the Ripper murdered two of his unfortunate victims – Annie Chapman and Mary Jane Kelly. They reportedly had their last drinks in this very pub before unwittingly heading off to their deaths.
For many years, this location was rumoured to be the last location where the Ripper was seen, though the story behind the claim is far from substantial. Find out more on the tour!
This stop on our London pub tour was a favourite hangout spot for the market traders of old Petticoat Lane. The Bell Pub’s candlelit tables provides a relaxing atmosphere for you to socialise with your group after hearing stories of the brutal murders.
Hidden from view in the heart of Spitalfields, this little pub is a true local for the community. It is also next door to Jack the Ripper’s most gruesome murder, so book your spot on the tour to discover who this was and the connection to the pub!
This charming corner pub was a favourite drinking den of the notorious East End character known as “Leather Apron”, but was he also the Whitechapel murderer? Today, the pub’s name has been changed to The Culpeper, but it still has a few secrets left to reveal…
The Jack the Ripper pub tour runs every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7 pm. Numbers are limited, so please book your spaces in advance to avoid disappointment.
