London is one of the most fascinating, historic and stylish cities in
the world. It’s also one of the most expensive! There are many excellent sightseeing tours of London, but some of them
admittedly cost a pretty penny. Exploring the Big Smoke without spending a

into mystery or magic, there’s something for everyone. Remember though, these

If you’re a fan of history, true crime or the macabre – or all three –
then why not step back in time to learn about one of the world’s most famous
serial killers? The free Jack the Ripper Tour takes you back to
Victorian London at a time when the East End was terrorised by a series of
brutal murders. London has plenty of Ripper tours, but this free one forgoes
spooky sound effects or cheesy props in favour of fascinating facts and
insights about this mysterious case. The guides will take you back to the chaos
and filth of Whitechapel in 1888 as you explore the murder locations and wander
through the crooked lanes of this historic area. A truly spine tingling tour...
