What to expect

Jack the Ripper is the name given to one of the most famous serial killers in human history. He tirelessly roamed the streets of the miserable East End neighborhood in search of new victims to mutilate. Partly because his identity was never discovered, he has fascinated generations of Londoners over the years. A visit to the Jack the Ripper Museum, in the heart of the East End, will allow you to reconstruct his story and understand why the police were never able to stop him in his bloodthirsty madness.

The museum dedicated to Jack the Ripper (Jack the Ripper Museum) takes us back to the darkest hours of London. Indeed, Jack the Ripper is the name commonly given to the most famous serial killer in the English capital. Never captured, he was responsible for the deaths of at least five women, but experts believe that the list of his victims was actually much longer. These bloody murders terrified but also captivated Londoners at the end of the 19th century. Popular newspapers and magazines devoted headlines to him. While the powerless police had to face public discontent, women in the East End lived in utter fear, and prostitutes hesitated to walk the streets.

The East End was one of the poorest neighborhoods in London at the time, while this part of the English capital is now highly sought after. However, a few Victorian buildings still remind us today of those dark hours. One can easily imagine a menacing figure slipping away into the night along the dark, fog-drenched alleys. Located right in the center of this district, the museum dedicated to Jack the Ripper tells the story of this terrible killer but, above all, of the women, driven to prostitution by poverty, who were his victims. This visit will make you aware of the numerous dangers awaiting the most deprived in gloomy Victorian London, as well as the terror experienced by the entire capital during this sinister period of Jack the Ripper's murders.
