During the blackened autumn of 1888, five Whitechapel women were murdered in the bloodiest of ways; their throats were cut, then their bodies hacked open. The man (or, possibly, men) behind the slaughters was never caught but, thanks to some savvy contemporary journalism, bears the immortal sobriquet of Jack the Ripper. Nearly 150 years later, you can retrace the Ripper’s footsteps on a dedicated East End tour. Visit the homes and murder sites of the victims, as your guide narrates grisly kill after grisly kill. Some even come with pictures. Joy abounds.
