This Is Our Story
New for 2025, Dr Blood's Tours are extremely excited to unveil our first dedicated tour in London, our very own Jack the Ripper tour, in Whitechapel, London. 2 years in the making, this tour is a unique blend of the very latest research, historical accuracy and a nice little touch of the dramatic!
​
Our background, is in the writing and running of Ghost Tours in the south-West of England . Our two main Ghost Tours are Bath Ghost Tours and Bristol Ghost Tours, both of which are very popular and indeed are an exciting and immersive experience for the visitor. We started looking at a London Ghost tour three years ago, but quickly realised that London didn't really need another one. You might say that London also doesn't really need another Jack the Ripper Tour either, as there are already plenty available. This is certainly true, however, whilst there are some excellent JtR tours already, none of them are quite complete, in terms of detail, locations or indeed the overall experience for the visitor. Enter: Dr Blood's Jack the Ripper Tour!
​
What we proudly do on this new and exciting tour, is offer as complete a tour as is humanly possible in just 2 hours. We take you to all 6, yes not just 5, but 6 of the murder sites currently attributed to the Ripper. We take you to other sites of interest and connection with these series of murders: The Mortuary, Spitalfields Markets, The Ten Bells Pub, The Doss -houses, and authentic buildings of the period. We delve into the histories of the Police, the Newspapers, Victorian Society, and most importantly, the Victims themselves, a must for those seeking a True Crime London Experience.
Importantly for our tours. all of our guides are professional actors as well as being professional guides, meaning that we will delivering our tours with a healthy dose of theatre and where possible, humour. The story of Jack the Ripper is truly grim, so we try to alleviate some of that grimness in our tours, so that you will be left informed, shocked, startled and indeed entertained at the end of your night with us.
​So, if you're in London and looking to do a Ripper tour, you really should join us on, Dr Blood's Jack the Ripper Tour
