It started off as just a qwirk, going to London just for a Jack the Ripper tour. On our photowalk we had the owner of London Walks tours, Dave. He was a marvelous addition to our photowalk and just happened to ask off the cuff, “Do you do Jack the Ripper Tours?” At 19:30 we meet at the Tram Coffee Cart and off we went. To say it was marvelous is an understatement! This gas lamp, this exact one, was on the path Jack walked in 1888 after one of his grizzly murders! We visited a number of the sites of the murders, some like Mitre Sq are still present, others were blown away during the Blitz while others like his last murder site have been built on. It was a two hour walking tour walking the streets and paths Jack walked, at night. We can’t recommend the tour nor London Walks enough to you! Oh, The Bell you see below, one of a couple of the 1888 pubs still in existence that Jack visited and possibly, found one of his victims. That’s pretty creepy!
