WELCOME TO LONDON'S FINEST JACK THE RIPPER TOURS
Our
Jack the
Ripper walk was started in 1982 by author and TV historian Richard Jones.
Richard has written 16 best - selling books including the soon to be published
UNCOVERING JACK THE RIPPER'S
LONDON. He is featured on
the DVD that accompanies the Johnny Depp film
FROM HELL,
for which he took the crew
around
the Jack the Ripper murder sites and on which he provides an insight and opinion
into the history of Jack the Ripper. He appeared on the History Channel's
THE HUNT FOR JACK THE RIPPER
and on Channel 5's
DIVINE DESIGNS,
on which programme he is seen
talking about the historical aspects of the Jack the Ripper case in relation to
the streets of Spitalfields. In 2004 he wrote, produced and presented the
acclaimed Drama Documentary
UNMASKING JACK THE RIPPER,
which, according to
Ripperologist Magazine,
'reconstructs
the main points of the Ripper story with skill, seamlessly weaving dramatic
reconstructions, narration and interviews with experts in a lively way that
keeps this well-trodden story fresh and interesting. Perhaps the
best...[Jack the Ripper]...documentary to have been produced in recent years;’
and of which Stephen Ryder who
operates the webs largest Jack the Ripper site
Casebook.org
wrote
'I'm not a big fan of Ripper
documentaries, admittedly, but I have to say that Richard's is certainly one of
the best - if not the best - I've ever seen. None of the
same old tired clichés
you get in the run-of-the-mill docs I'm sure we're all familiar with. I'd
recommend it.' In addition to regular appearances on
BBC Breakfast News;
ITV's This Morning
and
London Tonight;
Richard frequently appears on
Living TV's
and the
Travel Channel's
hugely successful programmes
MOST HAUNTED LIVE
and
GHOST TOWNS. Martin
Fido, co-author of the Ripperologists bible The
Jack the Ripper A - Z
had this to say about Richard's knowledge of the case; [Richard Jones is able to
present] "a detailed and perfect
account of the more historical complex theories... I doubt whether any other
guide in London ...could have done this. The tours that Richard Jones leads are
excellent..."
