Virtual London - The best place to see London online

1888: The first Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle has just been published, the first cheap Kodak cameras are in the shops, the first trams are running and electric lighting is starting to make the streets safer at night - or so they thought in the crowded, poverty-stricken East End of London. All of a sudden terror grips the population of Whitechapel, a short distance from the City of London and yet a world away.

Five women are butchered in the most grotesque fashion by the world's first recognised serial killer, Jack the Ripper.

We re-trace the footsteps of this infamous and surely deranged lunatic through narrow alleyways, derelict corners and Victorian pubs following a trail that some experts say leads to Queen Victoria herself!

Your professional Blue Badge Guide will talk you through the suspects that sparked the biggest Whodunit of its time - you'll be as gripped as the Ripper's victims! You'll also get the chance to see parts of London in the shadow of the financial district that have barely changed since Victorian times, with long-forgotten streets, secret squares, and quiet corners where time stands still.

Why not end the evening with a traditional fish and chip supper in one of London's most historic pubs. 
Comfortable walking shoes and a strong stomach recommended!
