Another top location for a stag, hen or corporate treasure hunt - explore on foot the places where Jack the Ripper operated in the capital city of the UK, London.Go back in time to Victorian London - to the second half of 1888 in fact, to the time that Jack the Ripper was carrying out his series of grisly murders. Overcrowding and poverty in the East End of London caused many women to turn to prostitution, several of whom became the victims of this serial killer. Jack the Ripper was never caught. The majority of the murders attributed to him (or could it have been a her?) took place in the last few months of 1888 but there were a few in the subsequent 3 years. It is generally accepted that there were 5 victims of the Ripper, with the final murder victim, Mary Jane Kelly, being found on 9/11/1888 although there could be up to a further 6, bringing the total to 11. Despite a massive police operation, including door to door enquiries and raids on slum housing, where the areas low life resided, Jack the Ripper was never caught. In 2006, Scotland Yard's violent crime unit studied witness statements and came up with a photofit face of the ripper, maybe tyou saw the Channel 5 programme? Our Jack the Ripper treasure hunt takes you around the Spitalfields and Whitechapel area where the Ripper operated, places like the Hoop and Grapes, reputed to be London's oldest surviving pub which has 13th century foundations, Spitalfields Market, the Ten Bells Pub which may have been frequented by the victims ...
