East End

The neighborhoods in the East End of London (the districts of Spitalfields and White Chapel to be exact) are home to the theaters of the atrocities of Jack the Ripper during the summer and autumn of 1888. Today, there are guided tours that lead adventurous and fearless tourists all along the streets where the crimes were committed. To add a certain air of mystery to this experience, the excursions usually take place at night. If you go to London, I recommend you reserve a place in this tour to learn more about this bloody time in the history of the English capital (and also to see what daily life was like in these places during the nineteenth century).
