Greenwich
A World Heritage Site, Greenwich is the birthplace of King Henry VIII and his two daughters, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I.
The University of Greenwich now occupies the site of the Old Royal Naval College which has some fine baroque buildings designed by (among others) Sir Christopher Wren.
East meets West at the Prime Meridian of the World, located at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park. All time is measured from this point.
Among the exhibits in the National Maritime Museum is the uniform that Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson was wearing at the Battle of Trafalgar, complete with bullet-hole!
There are other museums, a huge park, a market and some great traditional riverside pubs. It is also home to the last surviving Tea-Clipper, the “Cutty Sark“.
South Bank

Wapping
East of The City and on the North bank of the Thames, visit the old docks, wharves and warehouses. Learn of pirates, executions and see from where the Mayflower set sail. Visit some of the best riverside pubs in London.
Jack the Ripper
In Whitechapel, part of the East End of London, in 1888 a series of unsolved, brutal and horrific murders were committed. They are believed to be the work of a single unknown assailant, dubbed “Jack the Ripper”.
Who was he/she? How many victims were there? Why were they murdered? What was the reason for the sudden end to the killings?
Despite more than a century of investigation and speculation, we still don’t know the answers.
On this tour we will visit some murder sites, review the evidence and talk about the suspects. We may stop en-route at a genuine East End pub, and if you’re hungry we will finish with some Asian cuisine in Brick Lane, the heart of London’s Bangladeshi community.
