Jack the Ripper Walking Tour with Fish & Chip Supper for Two
Overview
Follow in the trail of the world’s most infamous serial killer with this expert Jack the Ripper Walking Tour, and enjoy a fish and chip supper in the very location the Ripper fled to after killing his fifth victim.
Travel down dark cobblestone alleys and back-streets to visit the places that both Jack the Ripper and his victims frequented. En route you’ll learn all about the victims’ stories, as well as the social turbulence that allowed the Ripper to evade justice, from your ‘Ripperologist’ guide.
The restaurant is the only place where any physical evidence of the Ripper’s movements was found, and it’s here you’ll enjoy dinner before heading out to the grisly crime scenes of the 19th Century. Think you’ve got the stomach for it?

Your guided tour starts with dinner, so head on over to the restaurant about an hour before the tour begins. There’s a choice of various fish and chip dishes, cod roe, rotisserie chicken and veggie dishes, so everyone’s catered for. The restaurant is adorned with pictures of the suspects, and the spot where the Ripper infamously left a blood-soaked strip of the victim’s apron is marked inside the restaurant, so you’ll feel properly immersed in the grisly history before the tour begins.
After your meal take the short 5 minute walk to your starting point. Your tour will last approximately 2 hours, and will finish close to a tube station in either E1 or EC3.

Fabulous Tour and delicious fish & chips
Our evening started at Poppies Fish & Chip restaurant and we had one of the best fish suppers i've had during my 4 years of living in London. The tour was interesting and very informative - quite scary in places as well. Jenny was our tour guide and she dressed in Victorian clothing to make it even more realistic. Fantastic tour and highly recommended.

An Excellent Tour
I really enjoyed the whole experience. Started with fish and chips at The Happy Days restaurant where the service was excellent, followed by the tour hosted by Andre. Andre describes himself as a Ripperologist with 30 years experience and was a very engaging host who made the experience very enjoyable. I learnt a lot about Jack The Ripper and would definitely recommend this experience.

An Interesting Walk on a Dark Night.
The Fish & Chip Supper was served in a nicely decorated and appropriate cafe, as it was the site of original Jack the Ripper graffiti. The tour guide was Andre, brimming with information and enthusiasm about the subject. He had visual aids with photos of the sad victims and locations. some drawings were quite graphic. He guided us effortlessly and seamlessly from location to location with great care, not always easy to do in the narrow alleyways of Whitechapel and the City of London.

Fascinating evening
We had a fascinating evening in the Whitechapel area of London staring with a delicious fish and chip supper at Poppies a traditional east end restaurant. Jenny our tour guide is a font of knowledge with years of research and experience and really took you back to the events of Victorian London during Jack the Ripper's time of murderous activities.

Jack the Ripper
Tour was very good , the guide was very knowledgeable. The restaurant wasn’t that great , change of restaurant from the original one advertised. I’m glad the cost was in the package because no way I would have paid £18 for cod and chips which was very greasy
