The tour begins beneath gaslamp-style streetlights and the cold heaviness of Thames-side fog, where narrow alleys squeeze between brick terraces and the city feels older than its skyline. Guides lead a small group along the lanes of Whitechapel and Spitalfields, pausing at the spots where the canonical five victims were found and where police and press first coined the name "Jack the Ripper." The walk places you in a Victorian street scene — cobbles slick with rain, pub doorways that have witnessed a century of stories, and the muffled hum of trains overhead.
