This 3-hour tour in a luxury air-conditioned coach will transport you back to the days of Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes.

Luxury air-conditioned coach from Victoria

As you drive through the evening streets you'll hear tales about public executions, Charles I's beheading outside Banqueting House, and the burials inside Westminster Abbey.

The Old Bailey - Original site of Newgate Prison

You'll pass by the site of the notorious Newgate Prison, the Royal London Hospital where the Elephant Man once lived, and the site of Sweeney Todd's barbershop in Fleet Street.

Jack The Ripper and Sherlock Holmes tour guide

Along the way your guide will share stories about spooky seances, Fanny Lynes and the Cock Lane ghost, gangland warfare and the Great Train Robbers, and how Victorian body snatchers once dug up the cemeteries so they could make money from the corpses.

Ghost walk through Smithfield Market

Then you'll disembark the bus for a walk to a dark and deserted Smithfield Market - the site of public executions in medieval times - to see where Wat Tyler, the rebel leader from the Peasants' Revolt, and the Scottish patriot William Wallace from Braveheart were put to death.

See Jack The Ripper's murder sites

As the sky continues to darken you'll pass by another execution site on Tower Hill towards the dimly lit streets of Whitechapel, where the world's most infamous serial killer stalked and butchered five innocent women in 1888.

You'll leave the bus and follow Jack the Ripper's trail to the actual murder sites... discussing the suspects and perusing the clues to the still-unsolved mystery.

Nightcap in a Sherlock Holmes pub

Sherlock Holmes pub near Trafalgar Square

The trip will end with a visit to the Sherlock Holmes pub by Trafalgar Square, decorated with memorabilia about the great Victorian detective, where you'll be left to enjoy a pint and maybe a traditional fish and chip supper (food and drink is not included in the price).
