Whitehchapel pubs, with a Ripper connection......

[MrBarnett]

Are we forgetting the very controversial JTR 'museum' in Cable Street?

There is a potential connection to The Blind Beggar. A character named Stephen Maywood, who almost certainly knew MJK, claimed to have had a bag of gold coins stolen from his cart outside the pub.

Indeed however apart from the odd thing in the London Dungeon, a figure at the old Wax works there is not much 'exploitation' of Jack and his poor victims. Some might say more might have been expected.

However there are a fair few 'walks' that are full every night so I guess the walk hosts have made the most from it all..

While I am a supporter of the Ripper walks when they are well done by a good historian, the argument could be made that, nonetheless, such walks glorify Jack the Ripper and his bloody deeds.

That's cool, will have a pint there for Maywood and his gold coins next time I'm in town


Have never been to the "musuem" mind as I've heard it's dreadful?

This is great many thanks Chris!! I've had many a curry (sadly no beer is sold there now) over the years and often wondered what it looked like back in the day.

There's a chap who does a Kray's walk, starting at the Blind Beggar, now their within living memory surely that's worse? But people still go on the tour!!!

The Culpeper, such a shame they renamed this one, but at least it's still there I suppose.

The King's Store, cracking location but certainly the most "trendified" of all the pubs.
