Step Into the Shadows of 1888 Whitechapel
A Private Walking Tour Like No Other
Meet at Aldgate East Tube Station
Wednesday 4 February 2026
11:30am to 2pm
Fog drifts through narrow alleys. Gas lamps flicker against the brick. And in the heart of Victorian London, fear stalks the streets...
Join a private walking tour led by a former Scotland Yard detective and uncover the chilling secrets of Whitechapel in 1888. With every step across cobbled streets, your guide, who himself has spent years solving real-;life crime, will reveal what the newspapers never told. Go beyond the blood-soaked headlines to experience the grit, grime, and gaslight of East End life during one of history's most notorious crime waves. Hear genuine investigative theories, discover what it meant to hunt a killer in an age before forensics, and walk the same streets where shadows held deadly secrets.
Your journey concludes at The Shakespeare's Head in Islington (a short tube ride away), where the story takes a final twist - into the dark legend of the Kray twins. This isn't just another Jack the Ripper tour. It's the case as told by a detective who knows the streets, the files, and the truth hidden between them.
Places: 15
Cost: £22.00
