READ THE BOOKS BUT DON'T MISS THIS TOUR

Our guide was more sympathetic for the victims than the usual Ripper books. Also you need to walk these streets to get a feeling of the relative locations of the crime scenes. TEN BELLS Pub and the neighborhood church are still there. Most of the original streets have been obliterated by the Blitz or Urban Renewal so the connections to the original crime scenes are not obvious but you can still see the original doorway which Dark Annie Chapman entered but didn't exit alive. It's not mentioned but you will start on a corner of Whitechapel Street where late one night "non-canonical victim" Emma Smith started running up Brick Lane to the corner of Wentworth (where you will also turn) but she couldn't outrun her vicious pursuers. I am sure that it is safe enough now -- during the day.

Great information and a...

Great information and a perfect way to see Whitechapel. And it was nice to do during the day instead of at night.
