Part 1: Coach Drive Through Dark London
Our tour begins with a coach drive direct to the dark side of London. We see the Old Bailey - the site of numerous public hangings, the Royal London Hospital where the Elephant Man lived, the Wallace Plaque where Braveheart was tortured and hear tales of gangland warfare, butcherous barbers and great train robbers.
Part 2: Jack the Ripper Walk
As the shadows lengthen, we approach Londons East End, a hotbed of crime and vice in the 19th century. During the autumn of 1888, terror struck when Jack the Ripper came out of the fog and dimly lit alleys just long enough to stalk and butcher his five victims. At this point we leave the coach and walk his death trail inspecting the murder sites, deciphering the evidence and discussing his suspects. To this day the case remains unsolved. Come and investigate the case for yourself - who was Jack the Ripper?
Part 3: The Terror of the Thames
The River Thames takes on a whole new dimension in the dark. Join our terror cruise and listen to tales of KGB murders and suspicious suicides as we creep back from the Tower of London to Embankment Pier where the tour ends.
Fancy a nightcap? Then join us in the warmth of the Sherlock Holmes Pub. The pub also boasts a wide collection of the investigators memorabilia. Feeling Hungry? The pub also has a wide variety of meals including traditional fish and chip supper on offer which can be purchased from the bar.
