It’s a great way to enjoy the streets and passages of old London. I did one many years ago as a teenager and found it very exhilarating!

Jack The Ripper was a serial killer who was on the loose in the Whitechapel area of London in 1888. He was never caught or identified. He mainly attacked female prostitutes and was extremely brutal as he removed internal organs from his murder victims. That led to believe that he might a doctor or had some kind of surgical background. He killed at least 7 people including the Canonical 5 murders of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly.
