  • "Incredible. Amazing insight in to what you thought you knew about JTR. Beautiful little gem of a find. Accurately set to our understanding of JTR, authentic pieces, dramatic and educational. Passionate and kind hosts, Pat, front of house and the ever charming Sam, our tour guide. Money well spent."

    Rosie M

  • "This was one of the best activities we did on our break in London. We started with the walking tour. Our guide Sam was a legend. Great knowledge not just re: Jack the Ripper but also about the history of London and it’s modern day workings. Would definitely recommend the tour and museum."

    Louise M

  • "Eerie, emotional, informative. This museum tells the horrific events of the Ripper, even though he was never caught. Visit this museum to make your own mind up. Definitely worth a visit."
