jack the ripper walk

He came silently out of the midnight shadows of August 31, 1888. Watching. Stalking. Butchering raddled, drink-sodden East End prostitutes. Leaving a trail of blood and gore that led...nowhere...

Sair do trabalho e aterrar numa cidade como Londres foi o programa de sexta a noite. Com calor fizemos uma walking tour para conhecer mais um pouco desta cidade onde tudo existe.
A Jack the Ripper walking tour comeca em Tower Hill e acaba no Spitalfields market e da-nos uma nova visao da zona de Whitechappel. As explicacoes do nosso guia (Richard) nao podiam ter sido melhores e fomos sem duvida transportados para 1888. Pena mesmo a maior parte dos edificios velhos em Londres serem demolidos e substituidos por novas construccoes, mas mesmo assim, a tour vale a mesmo a pena. Thanks Richard!

“Intense and Descriptive”
Great tour mostly due to the vivid descriptions of the guide as the corporation of London already knocked down most of the buildings. It's a lovely walk and as the sun sets and it gets darker and darker you get a real feel of the events being described. Recommended not only the tour but our guide Richard Walker.

The Jack the Ripper Tour takes place every night at 7.30 pm. Meet just outside the exit of Tower HillTube. The London Walks Jack the Ripper walk guides – among them, Britain's most distinguished crime historian, Donald Rumbelow, "internationally recognised as the leading authority on Jack the Ripper" – will be standing right next to the Tower Hill Tram coffee stall, which is just five yards outside the exit of Tower HillTube.
