The Jack the Ripper Obsession – A Social History of East End (opens in a new tab)

Walk through the historic East End from St Katharine Docks to Spitalfields as your expert guide reveals the human stories too often overshadowed by the Jack the Ripper legend. Hear about women navigating marriage laws, domestic service, factory work, lodging houses, alcoholism, child loss, casual labour, and mere survival in one of the world’s richest yet most unequal cities. Learn how newspapers turned these crimes into a global obsession - and why the killer’s name became famous while the women were nearly forgotten. And why we’re still talking about it now.
