Journeys to and from that part of London were literally being delayed by hours!

Sinister London and Jack the Ripper Tour

CURRENT PRICES / BOOK TOUR (WITHOUT LUNCH)

CURRENT PRICES / BOOK TOUR (WITH LUNCH)

Tour Description

The Sinister London and Jack the Ripper tour will begin by driving past many of London’s famous sights such as the Houses of Parliament.  Probably the most famous attempt to breach the security of the Houses of Parliament was the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The plot was a conspiracy among some Roman Catholic gentry to place large quantities of gunpowder beneath the Palace and detonate it during the State Opening of Parliament.  The foiling of the plot is marked annually in England on November 5th and is often referred to as Guy Fawkes Night.  You will also drive past old Tyburn, a scene used for centuries as the primary location of the execution of London criminals.

Sinister London and Jack the Ripper tour will eventually enter the City of London in London’s East End.  In the autumn of 1888, Jack the Ripper, an alias given to an unidentified serial killer was stalking the streets of the impoverished Whitechapel area and adjacent districts. The name originated in a letter sent to the London Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer.  Your guide will take you on a walking tour, where you will visit the murder sites.

Because the killer’s identity has never been confirmed, the legends surrounding the murders have become a combination of genuine historical research and folklore.  Many authors, historians, and amateur detectives have proposed theories about the identity of the killer and his victims.

London’s East End was also the home of  Reggie and Ronnie Kray the notorious identical twin brothers, and the foremost organised crime leaders who dominated London’s East End during the 1950s and 1960s.

After your walking tour you will drive back through Fleet Street which is famous for the barber Sweeney Todd, traditionally said to have lived and worked in Fleet Street (he is sometimes called “the Demon Barber of Fleet Street”).

The drive back to Victoria will also take you past the stunning St Paul’s Cathedral and the Central Criminal Court in England, commonly known as the Old Bailey.
Your tour will end at approx 9.15pm in Victoria.
Should you choose to add the dinner option to your tour, this will be booked for you at 6.00pm at the superb Chez Gerrard restaurant located in the Thistle Victoria Hotel.  Your guide would collect you from the hotel reception at 7.00pm in order to begin the tour.

Tour Age Suitability

Please be advised that the Sinister London and Jack the Ripper tour is unsuitable for children under the age of 14.  Please also be advised that this tour involves walking, so please do dress accordingly.

No London tour would be complete without a trip to the City or Square Mile as it is often referred because it is almost exactly one square mile in area.  Here you shall learn about the Great Fire of 1666 which destroyed four-fifths of the City!  You will also see the Bank of England and Mansion House, the home of the Lord Mayor.

An exclusive feature of this tour is entry into Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece, St.  Paul’s Cathedral (also the venue for the marriage of the late Diana Princess of Wales to Prince Charles.)  The old St. Paul’s was gutted by the Great Fire of London and the existing cathedral was completed on 20 October 1708.  During your visit you will also have entry to the Quire to see the beautiful mosaics.  (Not normally open to the General Public.)

Another highlight of this fabulous London tour is entry to the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels.  The tower’s primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners, such as Queen Elizabeth I. It has also served as a place of execution and torture, an armoury, a treasury, a zoo, the Royal Mint and since 1303, the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.
