A walk around the streets of London known to the Whitechapel murderer - Jack the Ripper!
This is what it looks like today.
And I name the identity of the person I believe to have been responsible. But not immediately. You have to wait for that!
Here we see the location of the murder of the second victim, Annie Chapman in an area that was highly fashionable, then became a slum and is now highly fashionable again.
We also walk down Brick Lane, the heart of the British Bangladeshi community and marvel at how this has become a tourist area.

I very strongly recommend the film the Diary of Jack the Ripper which has been posted as a video response. This film gives an alternative insight to that which I suggest but it really needs to be examined also by anyone interested in this subject, even if the basis for the film may yet prove to be a hoax.

Please also see my website and blogs which contain information about where this was filmed and some of the background:

Being a Texan and a love of history, I visited this area in May of 2010 and I wondered if the residents here have any appreciation for where they are living. While strolling down Commercial Street, do they ever stop and think of the significance of their surroundings? If I lived here or in the general area, I spend hours walking these streets; absorbing the historical energy and ambiance.

@fkappreciative I spent ten years in London but it is only now when I am a visitor that I feel the need to go there frequently! I think with the amount of Ripper tours that all the locals know well what happened there!

A good film,and an interesting theory about the Ripper's identity.I am at a loss to understand the churlish criticisms of the educationally sub-normal poster who claimed it was amateurish,I shudder to think about what any film by him/her would look like,given the child-like incoherence of its written style.

@evajom1 Thank you very much for your comments. Unfortunately there are a lot of characters like this on the internet. I would find their comments more useful if they gave some constructive criticism, perhaps inviting the viewer to see some examples on their site.

Good Video. I work there and know those places. Have you read The Worst Street in London by Fiona Rule? It's focus is Dorset Street

i have added a video link to a 1967 view of 29 Hanbury st.

The Ye Old Cheshire Cheese is indeed off Fleet Street.

[jjobie]

Isn't Ye Old Cheshire Cheese somewhere near there? Or is that off Fleet Street?

@MrMousket yeah and have a memorial plaque for the woman who died

[freacls]

i think if Jack and his victims were to come back today they wouldnt know Whitechaple theyd get a huge shock and be totally lost

[alanheath]

@MrMousket Fear not - I was there around six weeks ago and it looked pretty rough then. Unless they have done it up since. Maybe we ought to arrange a group of local historians to go round and vandalise the place to make it look as it should.......!!!!!

[alanheath]

@MrMousket Maybe they are all on a conference call to each other!!
