Jack the Ripper Tour!

Hey all!! So, last night, Katrin and I went on an amazing tour in London. We did the Jack the Ripper Tour and it was so cool! We were in the dodgest area of London, it actually scared the living begeezes out of me... but our tour guide was great, a young Jack the Ripper investigative reporter who's writing a book on it, and is the youngest female to be like a reporter on him! And she's down like magazine articles and news reports and interviews and stuff and has found things that other people haven't even looked at yet that have huge significance to the story, and we got to seem some cool rare stuff! It was great... so here are the pictures (ya they suck, but whatever) of things around the tour! So enjoy! :)


Where we met for the tour lol.

The street where one of
the victims was found!!! (Yes,
the actual street!)

Me foot and on the coblestones
that were actually there when
Jack the Ripper was alive!

An important chapel
to the community living
there in the late 1880's.

The pub where the last
victim was last seen.

And more inside... the outside
is still exactly the same, and the
inside still has some of the original
stuff!!



Ahhhh, so ya it was soooo cool. We learned how the people lived in this area of town, which sucked. The prostitutes (and there were 1800 of them and the population of the area was 8000. omg is all I've got to say) and other poor people in the area (which was predominately jewish in that time, but now is bangladeshi) would pay 4p a night to rent out coffins (yes, coffins) to sleep in... or they could pay 3p a night to stand up against a rope in a room and sleep that way. Ya, brutal. But we walked the streets we most of the victims lived or worked or drank. We saw some pretty gruesome photos, and some interesting articles. And ya, it was so great, and it was so educational!!

Anyways, have fun looking at these photos... and go research the Ripper himself if you want. It's quite interesting.
