Jack The Ripper Murders 

In the early hours of 31 August 1888 a man walking down a dark lane in 

London’s Whitechapel area discovered a shapeless bundle lying on the 

ground. Curious, he went over to investigate. His gruesome discovery of 

a murdered East End prostitute began one of the most famous man-hunts 

in criminal history. The mystery of the Whitechapel murders is one of the 

world’s greatest unsolved cases. Since 1888, Ripperologists and amateur 

sleuths have been trying – and failing – to discover the identity of the 

man known as Jack the Ripper. Can you solve the riddle on this spooky 

Whitechapel walk? 

Who was Jack the Ripper? 

Come along on the trail of Jack the Ripper... if you dare! 

Departure Point and Directions: Traders Gate Souvenir Shop, 35 

Tower Hill, London EC3. Come out from Tower Hill station and walk 

down the steps on the right. The departure point is located at the
