Jack the Ripper Tour

[Stephen Thomas]

One thing anybody visiting London needs to know is that individual journies on London Transport are horrendously expensive and one needs to buy a daily or weekly Travelcard to get around. For instance, a tube journey even for one stop costs £4 whereas a daily Travelcard costs only around £5.

Hi Majewski79,

When you are travelling in London the tube is often quickest, but all you will see is a black hole.

If you have the time I would recommend you catch the number 15 bus which runs from Marble Arch, via Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Strand, Fleet Street, St Pauls Cathedral, Tower of London, to Aldgate.

Time permitting you could get off at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand and take a five minute walk to Kings Bench Walk, and visit the area were Druitt had his chambers. A short walk through Mitre Court [not Mitre Square] will bring you back to Fleet Street so that you can get back on the 15 bus.

Perhaps Philip could tell you which stop would be best to join the Ripper tour.

I'm not doing Sunday either! Ho hum.

[George Hutchinson]

My congrats on the wedding and booking with the company John Bennett and I both work for. I can't speak for John, but I'm not doing Sunday's walk. I am, however, taking Saturday's. If you - by some madness - wanted me to take your tour, just contact Jo at the office and swap dates. John's obviously good, though, so if he's taking a tour on Sunday then you might as well stay with him.

Thank you very much!

Flemings, eh? Pretty nice place, as I recall. Good choice.

Anyway, I'd say definitely take the tube. The Green Park station is about three blocks from your hotel, and the tube is the fastest and easiest way to get to the East End.

Enjoy your trip. Oh, and congratulations!

hi Majewski79

just to say congratulations on your forthcoming marriage, and i hope you both enjoy your honeymoon.

Sorry i don't live in London so cannot advise about the travel, but there are lots of contributors who have experience who I am sure will be along shortly to answer your queries!

Hello all.

This Sunday, my soon-to-be-wife and I (we get married this Friday) are leaving for our honeymoon and headed to London. We just booked the Jack the Ripper tour advertised on this site (http://www.jack-the-ripper-tour.com/) and we are so excited to get a chance to do the Ripper walk.

I have a quick question though, sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, we are staying at the Flemings Mayfair Hotel and my question is, do we take the Tube to get to the Tour's starting location or should we take a bus? This'll be my first time out of the country (USA) and my first time ever on a plane (as amazing as that sounds). Any suggestions? All help kindly appreciated! Thank you
