The experience
The tour starts behind the White Hart Pub on Whitechapel High Street with an introduction to the poverty and social conditions of the time. From there you move through eight stops across the neighborhood, each one a real murder site. You'll stand opposite where Martha Tabram was killed on Gunthorpe Street, visit the Frying Pan Pub on Brick Lane where Polly Nichols had her last drink, and reach Annie Chapman's murder site at 29 Hanbury Street. The guide walks you through the crimes in their full detail at each location.
The route takes in the Ten Bells Pub at the corner of Brushfield Street and Commercial Street, near Spitalfields Market, and ends at the courtyard of the London Fruit & Wool Exchange on Brushfield Street, where Mary Kelly's murder is discussed alongside the possible suspects in the case. A stop outside 4 Princelet Street marks the night of the double event. A building that has stood since the 1700s. The letters connected to the case are shown at another stop on Puma Court. The whole walk stays within Whitechapel, moving between pubs, streets and courtyards that still stand.
