Jack The Ripper Museum

Very small museum. It is multiple floors but each floor has one room to look at. The stairs are very small. There is a lift but after waiting for 5+ minutes for it (my knee was hurting) we wound up just going up the stairs.

The rooms were set up pretty nicely and there was some decent facts/information to read. It's good for someone that really has no knowledge of Jack the Ripper.

We were in and out in less than 20 minutes, even with reading all the plaques so it's a cute stop if you have a little time to spare.

Definitely come and check this museum out. Be ready to go back in time. Take some time to explore the creepy mortuary in the lower level and read about the victims of Jack the Ripper.
Please be aware: the mortuary smells very weird and "off". (I can't really describe it.) This could be disturbing to those with a heightened sense of smell.

Really cool museum that gives a story like of the Jack the Ripper. It was like a Time Machine. Recommended.

small museum with some cool information/items from the time. I would recommend trying to go at a time when it's not very busy as the rooms are small and so are the staircases to pass. There is a lift/elevator that is for anyone disable but I am unsure of how large it is-it looked fairly small walking passed.

Overall great way to kill 45 mins to an hour if you're in the area. We didn't do the tour due to timing but our interaction with the general staff was good. No line to get in and they provided suggestion on how to walk through the floors (bottom to top and having the basement as last stop).

If you enjoy learning about the Ripper in a casual setting, I would recommend coming here.

This was my girlfriend and I's first stop in London. It popped up for nearby attractions and with a basic knowledge of Jack the Ripper (thanks, Buzzfeed Unsolved!) we decided to check it out. I'm so glad we did! The museum is 5 floors in total, and you get the explore it at your own pace. You get to see a replica crime scene, Jack the Ripper's sitting room, among other scenes which have been recreated with love and attention to detail. The museum also pays tribute to the women in the attacks and the reality of life for poorer women in London at the time. Unlike many other crime museums and shows, Jack the Ripper is not glorified and his victims are not ignored. This was a lovely and very respectful touch to the museum. But don't worry, it's still plenty spooky if that's what you're looking for!

The museum is also located near the morgue where some victims were taken and is not too far from where one of the women was murdered, so if you're in doing your own walking tour of Jack the Ripper sites, this is a great way to start before heading off.

My mother in law was interested in this, so we went to indulge her. If you're into this type of stuff, it was really good. My issue is that it smelled horrible in the building, on every floor and it was extremely crammed.

Mi suegra estaba interesada en esto, así que fuimos a complacerla. Si te gustan este tipo de cosas, fue realmente bueno. Mi problema es que olía horrible en el edificio, en cada piso y estaba extremadamente pequeno. no habia mucho espacio.

Interesting museum, very atmospheric and informative. Friendly service at the front. Stumbled upon it on a day out and absolutely enjoyed it. They offer a walking tour as well. All around a fun experience.

A very small museum that you can easily miss if you don't notice it, but it's so informative and really well put together. The reconstructions and very surreal and it's was really interesting. The price itself the get into the museum isn't the bad actually and it's worthy the money, you not only get to see the facts the police have but also what the rooms of victims could have been like and it's just great.

My daughter found this museum randomly on google maps while she was trying to find Maedah Grill. Our family likes crime shows, and the Investigation Discovery channel, so we wanted to check this place out after lunch. We're so glad we did. I loved this museum and how everything was presented that made The Mystery of Jack The Ripper informative and fascinating. I also felt
they paid respect to the victims. I read one (not recommended review) that stated this museum was misogynistic and victim shamed? I don't agree with that statement at all. They had to give information about the victims to show that Jack The Ripper had a particular type of victim and M.O. The museum itself is small and the tour a little short, but has a lot of information. The props and music definitely were macabre. This was different than the "typical" museum experience- which was a welcomed change for us all. The staff was helpful and answered all my questions. Check it out!

Since we stayed right around the corner, our first stop in London was this Museum. Not only was the woman working there tremendously friendly, she also took the time to explain to us the whole story of Jack the Ripper and how the Museum was to be experienced!
We loved it!
You can find a lot of information, chilling rebuilds of a crime scene and a police station at the time and even a study room in which you can touch and try out everything! But what impressed me the most of all was the respect this museum gives the victims! they stand away from wild speculations and do not put the focus on the women's jobs at the time. it might sound strange, but we enjoyed this museum almost the most in whole London! Thank you! keep up the great job
