When you mention Whitechapel, it’s all about Jack the Ripper. And no wonder, we are talking about one of the most infamous serial killers of all time. But there’s so much more to the story! Join us on this walking tour of London’s East End, where we hear from the voices that were silenced by the Ripper and by history: his victims. We’ll meet these incredibly resilient women and their neighbours as we discover the district that created a monster.

We will also show you some of the charities still carrying out work in the area today.

Around the corner at the famous Ten Bells Pub, we'll hear more about Annie's life and the heartbreak she suffered. We'll also hear about how the movement Reclaim the Night had a hand in forcing the pub to change its name back to the Ten Bells from the Jack the Ripper pub.

  • Old Spitalfields Market, London, United Kingdom
    A market opened in 1887, the year of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and the year before the Whitechapel Murders began. Here, we'll briefly dwell on the great contrasts of the Victorian era. Then, we'll head to Crispin Street to see the site of a refuge for working class people that actually worked! Across the street is the former site of Mary Jane Kelly's residence, the last victim in the murders and by far the most mysterious.

The Jack the Ripper - What About the Women? Tour was outstanding. Our tour guide Charlotte was knowledgeable, informative, and incredibly personable. As we walked around the Whitechapel area, Charlotte vividly detailed the stories of the women that would become linked to one of history’s most notorious killers. Charlotte highlighted how sad personal stories of abuse, addiction, and tragedy combined with immigration history, the early labor movement, social class, and poverty contributed to the conditions that made these horrific murders possible. Hearing the stories of these women humanized them and changed the narrative. As Charlotte brought us on a journey through time, visiting the crime scenes and history of the Whitechapel area, I couldn’t help but feel that the dozen or so other Ripper tours that we walked past had missed the real story and focused on sensationalizing a murderer. I wish we were going to be in London for more time so that we could take more amazing tours with Rebel Tours.

We came across the tour online and it was our first guided tour in London; we wanted to explore a part of the city we didn’t know and knew that Whitechapel had a dark but important history to tell. However, we didn’t want to take part in one of the many gruesome tours that focuses exclusively on the killer’s point of view and we wanted to hear about the women, their stories and their lives. If this is what you are looking for too, this is the perfect tour for you! Our guide Cecily was absolutely incredible, knowledgeable and ready to answer all of our many questions; most importantly, she was respectful and truly emotional while speaking of the victims and their unfortunate endings and showed us a side of the story we never heard of! We will definitely recommend it to all of our friends back home, as this is such a beautiful and unique way to experience Victorian London and know the lives of the women who lived it.

This guided tour was quite an amazing experience. Despite being confused about the location of the starting point (it’s not their fault I think), my mother and I, being on a holiday trip to London, liked it very much. The guide was friendly, and the tour is focused on the victims. It’s not feeding the morbid fascination on the mystery of their murderer, Jack the Ripper. I even had the opportunity to translate everything the guide said to my mother (she doesn’t understand a word of English) because a couple cancelled theirs. So it was like a private guide!! The guide even took us back to the underground, to help us with the directions. A superb experience. 10/10!!
