  JACK THE RIPPER TOUR

 

Gunthorpe Street, Whitechapel

 

 

During the late summer and autumn of 1888 a series of horrific murders took place in the East End of London that became known as the Whitechapel Murders.  The murderer, who was given the title of Jack the Ripper was never apprehended.  Relive this 'Autumn of Terror' with an Historical Footsteps walking tour through the streets of Whitechapel and Spitalfields. Each tour group is limited to a maximum of 10 people.

 

 THE LONDON BLITZ WALKING TOUR

Commercial Street, London during the Blitz
 
 
AS FEATURED IN THE RECENT BBC 1 TELEVISION PROGRAMME 'THE WEEK WE WENT TO WAR' 

 

In 1940, London and many other cities in Britain suffered a period of sustained air raids that tested the determination and courage of the civilian population of this country. Although most of the physical damage to buildings has been repaired it is still possible to see evidence of that period in our history. Why not join one our Historical Footsteps Tours on a guided walk through some of the areas affected by the Blitz.  Tour group numbers are limited in size to a maximum of 10 people.

 

THE KRAY TWINS TOUR

 

 Two of the most famous British criminals of the 20th century were the Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie. Much of the first half of their lives was spent in the East End of London around Bethnal Green and Whitechapel.  Why not join one our Historical Footsteps Tours on a guided walk through some of the areas and locations frequented by the brothers in their youth and later gangland careers.  Tour group numbers are limited in size to a maximum of 10 people.
