What to expect
Expect a measured, evidence-focused narrative rather than theatrical dramatisation. Your guide will take you to specific addresses where victims were found and explain what was actually known versus what became urban legend. The tour covers the social conditions of the East End, contemporary newspaper accounts, and the police investigation's limitations. You'll walk approximately two miles at a leisurely pace through occasionally narrow Victorian alleys. The guide encourages questions, so come with your own theories if you have them.
