Join us on a walk with Katie Wignall- the writer of "Look Up London" for a new twist on a Jack the Ripper tour.
You may have heard the story of Jack the Ripper, but how much do you know about his victims? This Feminist Jack the Ripper tour looks at history from a different angle focusing on the lives of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly, bringing them centre stage. The walk will concentrate on women’s lives rather than their murders and aims to inspire you with the stories of brave and brilliant East End women, past and present.
