Imagine a time when the streets of London were still shrouded in thick fog and lit by the sodium-glow of gas lamps... and out of the shadows came Jack the Ripper!

He'll also reveal some oversights that the police made during their hunt for one of Britain's most notorious killers... including crucial pieces of evidence that may have let him escape.

Re-live the case through Ripper-Vision

Whitechapel might be a vibrant place today, but back in Victorian times it was one of London's most impoverished districts.

The beauty of this spine-chilling tour is that it brings to life those times through the innovative use of 'Ripper-Vision' - a hand-held projector that emblazons 5-foot images of the crime-scenes, victims, witnesses and original buildings straight onto the dimly-lit brick walls.

Discover the true identity of Jack the Ripper

Your guide will end the tour by speculating on the Ripper's motive and - through the use of eye-witness reports and modern methods of criminal profiling - he'll even reveal the identity of the man that he thinks the police should have been chasing all along!
