I guess for reasons that were known only to Nichols herself. Anything else would be pure speculation.
She spent three weeks at Wilmott's and possibly, after only 6 days of lodging at the White House, went back as she was familiar with it. Emily Holland tried to get her to return to Wilmott's when they met on the morning of the murder. Nichols, however, apparently wanted to go somewhere where men and women were allowed to sleep together (possibly the White House).
On the night/morning of her murder, Mary Ann Nichols did seem a little 'all over the place', as well as drunk. Who knows what decisions were going around in her head that night?

last address
A litle help please, I seem to have confused myself. The victim page for Mary Anne Nicholes states that just 6 days before she was murdered she moved from Wilmott's Lodging House at 18 Thrawl Street to the White House at 56 Flower and Dean Street.
It goes on to read:
12:30 AM -- She is seen leaving the Frying Pan Public House at the corner of Brick Lane and Thrawl Street. She returns to the lodging house at 18 Thrawl Street.
1:20 or 1:40 AM -- She is told by the deputy to leave the kitchen of the lodging house because she could not produce her doss money. Polly, on leaving, asks him to save a bed for her. " Never Mind!" She says, "I'll soon get my doss money. See what a jolly bonnet I've got now." She indicates a little black bonnet which no one had seen before.
If the White House was her last address why would she have returned to the house on Thrawl the night she was murdered?
